Little Zippy Duffelbag Goes to France Denise Hirota

Little Zippy Duffelbag and all his friends from the closet are going on a trip to France! They've never been to France, and everyone is very excited. As they pack for the trip, Zippy thinks about how much he wishes he were bigger. He is sort of a little guy, not big and roomy like his friend from the attic, Stanley Steamer-Trunk, who could carry all of their belongings with ease. And, as if not being able to carry much wasn't bad enough, he was so small he had to ride in the overhead compartment with all the other small bags-all the girls. Could things get any worse?

Oh, they sure can! When they arrive in France, Connie Coinpurse is kidnapped by the dastardly Croco Atache. Not only is Connie a dear friend to everyone, but she's also carrying all the money. Little Zippy must find the courage to track down and face Croco Atache and save Connie Coinpurse. But what if he's just too small?
