Children's Review: The Baker's Dozen
We received this book to give an honest review.
K and I really both enjoyed this story being told. Baker Van Amsterdam ends up making amazing St. Nicholas cookies which ends up him having a lot of money, but it seems having a lot of money is making him greedy. Baker Van Amsterdam learns a lesson on being greedy when a woman comes in to buy a dozen cookies and only gets twelve. Things turn upside down for this baker until his lesson is learned and he does the right thing.
K thought it was neat to learn that a baker's dozen means thirteen and not twelve and that being greedy is not a good thing to be.
The pictures really went well with each page and I think children from ages 4 on up would enjoy this story.
