review:
'The Baker's Dozen: A Saint Nicholas Tale' by Aaron Shepard with illustrations by Wendy Edelson is a Christmas tale that tells a lesson in being generous.
This story takes place in colonial Albany, New York. There is a baker in the town who is amazingly honest. He gives his customers exactly what they have ordered. One day, an old woman comes in to by some Saint Nicolas cookies and tries to convince him that a dozen is 13. When he refuses to give her more than 12, she puts a curse on his business. Can he overcome the curse and save his business?
It's a story about how the baker's dozen came to be. I loved the way it was told and the illustrations are lovely and detailed. It's the perfect read aloud book for cold Winter nights, but you better have some cookies handy. Maybe a baker's dozen?
I received a review copy of this ebook from Skyhook Press and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
