Review quotes
"Sarah Cooley has written an adorable and incredibly thorough book about Christmas. She seamlessly mixes together unique facts, history, and Christmas-themed activities for children. I found the history behind the Christmas traditions fascinating. Who knew Christmas cards were invented as a time saver? This book would be perfect to read to your children or students around Christmastime. The book would also serve as an exemplary mentor text for a classroom writing unit focusing on 'all about books.' Sarah's book includes a table of contents, headings, bold print vocabulary words, recipes, a glossary, an index, and more! Check this book out. You won't be disappointed." —Erica Bohrer Blasi, 1st teacher, blogger, and author
