Although the guide is called a Christmas Classics guide because the story begins at Christmastime -- and time is marked by the passing of Christmases, the book can be read, studied, and enjoyed at any time of the year.

This is the workbook format of the guide; there is room for students to write answers to the questions and to complete the activities.

This guide is also available in interactive format:

In the interactive format there is not room for students to write all of the answers.

NOTE:

• The content of the guide in interactive format and in workbook format is the same; the only difference is spacing.
