Book Description
In The Legend of St. Nicholas, the new artwork, created by Marley and Me
illustrator, Richard Cowdrey, captivates audiences and tells the story
of a young man named Nicholas, who was moved by the plight of the poor
and needy. Nicholas spent his life secretly helping the poor all over

My Review
This is a fun Christmas book that tells the story of St. Nicholas, a young man who wanted to give. The book is mainly about a little boy who goes shopping with his dad (his dad just left him at the store to wander on his own which I didn't really appreciate) and discovers Santa telling the story of St. Nicholas. It's a great example on how great it is to give to others in need and a good lesson for kids.
The illustrations are beautifully done and I can't wait to share this book with the little ones in my life! I love giving and I hope they grow up to understand the importance of giving to others.
