    About this ebook

    This gorgeously illustrated Christmas collection of bestselling books in the Legends series from Zonderkidz explores the true stories behind many holiday traditions, including candy canes, Saint Nicolas, and Christmas cookies. Throughout, kids will learn why it’s important to share the story of Jesus’s birth and give to others during the holiday season.

    Inside, you and your children can discover:

    • Why the shape and colors of a candy cane tell the story of Jesus’s life
    • Who the real St. Nicolas was, and why his actions helped inspire the exchange of Christmas presents and giving to the poor during the holidays
    • Why we bake cookies at Christmas, and what each special shape tells us about the nativity

    Inside this value-priced collection are the three Legends books, The Legend of the Candy Cane, The Legend of St. Nicholas, and The Legend of the Christmas Cookie.

    The Legends of Christmas Treasury is:

    • Perfect as a gift for boys and girls ages 4-8, grandchildren, and nieces and nephews
    • Ideal as a family reading tradition for Advent, Christmas, or anytime in the holiday season
    • Great as a gift for people who love the history behind Christmas and holiday traditions

    If you enjoy The Legends of Christmas Treasury, check out other books in the Legends series: The Legend of the Christmas Tree, The Legend of the Christmas Stocking, The Legend of the Easter Egg, The Legend of the Easter Robin, and The Legend of the Sand Dollar.
