This story was the tale of Saint Nicholas and all about his life. This book had really beautiful illustrations that looked like stained glass windows and mosaics. This was a wonderful story about Saints and I would like it in my future classroom. Perfect for 3rd-5th grade students
This book is about Saint Nicholas of Myra. The story goes through and tells about the good deeds that he did throughout his life. I think the book was easy to read and understand, and instead of just being full of information it had different excerpts from his life and different events that happened in his life. I think it is a good book but I'm not sure if I would want to read it to my students or not. I'm not sure how I would approach this book if I were working in a public school.
