The baker, Van Amsterdam becomes known in Colonial America for baking his St. Nicholas cookies but his greed drives him to become stingy in his business. When an old woman buys a dozen cookies from him and expects to receive 13, he withholds the last one. Unfortunately, his business goes downhill until the day she returns for 12 more cookies. But this time he gives her an extra measure and the custom of offering a "baker's dozen" or 13 items spreads throughout the colonies. This holiday story is the perfect companion to a day of cookie making. Readers will learn the importance of fairness, trustworthiness and selflessness. | The Baker's Dozen by Heather Forest, Picture Books | Indigo Chapters
