The Baker's Dozen

Written by Heather Forest and Illustrated by Susan Gaber

In The Baker's Dozen, a greedy baker in Colonial America learns a tough lesson after trying to cheat his customers. After a mysterious woman curses his shop, he discovers that being fair and kind is the real secret to success. This beautifully illustrated holiday folktale explains the famous origin of why a "baker's dozen" means thirteen instead of twelve.
