{"product_id":"s-is-for-star-cynthia-furlong-reynolds-9781585362479","title":"S Is for Star: A Christmas Alphabet","description":"The Christmas story and the origin of many holiday traditions are thoroughly detailed in the text of S is for Star: A Christmas Alphabet. The first Christmas cards were printed and sold in the United States by a German immigrant in 1874. Long ago, eating pie was believed to bring good luck, and during the holidays they were baked in an oblong shape to look like a manger. The message of Christmas is a message to all the world and is beautifully conveyed and illustrated in S is for Star. Our tradition of gift-giving is based on the Wise Men's visit to Baby Jesus. Nearly every country has its own gift-giving traditions. In Great Britain, children eagerly await Father Christmas. In France, he is called Pere No?. In Italy, Befana brings presents, and German and Austrian children wait for a visit from the Christkindl. Celebrate these and many other traditions of the holiday season with S is for Star: A Christmas Alphabet.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cynthia Furlong Reynolds\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1585362476\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781585362479\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sleeping Bear Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 40\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.96h x 10.90w x 0.14d","brand":"Cynthia Furlong Reynolds","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43994284851455,"sku":"9781585362479","price":6.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_552bac12-8c22-4b2f-afcd-265a3237777c.jpg?v=1683329232","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/s-is-for-star-cynthia-furlong-reynolds-9781585362479","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
