Customer Reviews

Beautiful combo of DePaola's Christmas Books

I was looking for the Legend of the Poinsettia in hardback. My books get handled by a lot of children so good binding is a must. I found this book with more than that story in it- it's wonderful! The stories are included in full with no loss of pictures or size (unlike some other children's Treasury books that shrink the stories to "make them fit CHEAPLY" 😡). The stories are all beautifully illustrated and easy to read/understand by elementary students. Still enjoyable to read as an adult. I highly recommend this version of the stories. No idea why another review would give 1 star unless their order came damaged??? Although I did happen to find mine on clearance after Christmas at a physical store, I would 100% pay full price for this book!
