Archie’s Bag of Treasures

Archie’s big brother Oliver has returned from a party with a party bag, so Archie begins collecting a bag of treasures all of his own. When a magpie steals Archie’s bag, who will help him get his treasures back? Archie is jealous because his big brother Oliver has returned from a party with a party bag full of goodies, including a wonderful silver windmill. When Mum suggests that Archie gather his own bag of treasures, he sets about collecting enthusiastically; first a shiny conker, then a red leaf, some juicy blackberries, some teasels and, best of all, a beautiful glass marble. But then a magpie spies the glittering marble and steals Archie’s bag. Who will help Archie! Who’d have thought it’s his brother who comes up trumps. This lovely story about sharing and caring is perfect for jealous siblings, and is a fine addition to the Storytime series.
