I am preparing to do the Tomie dePaola Advent unit from Real Learning. I am having a very hard time finding The Three Wise Kings. Does anyone know where I can get a copy?
Jingle, The Christmas Clown and Hark! A Christmas Sampler, are on Amazon through other companies. I've never bought this way before and it seems costly with seperate shipping fees. Does anyone know an easier way to get them? Anyone have copies they want to sell?
Thank you!

I bought this book last month through abebooks.com. I think I got it for under $5. Check and see if there are more available. If I remember correctly, I believe there were quite a few.

What a great deal!
I think when I searched for this book last year that it was OOP....I couldn't find a copy for under $50.

Jennifer,
I just looked on Amazon & there are quite a few copies of both Jingle and Hark for sale. The least expensive ones are of course used, but even the like new ones didn't seem to be too expensive. I believe shipping is $3.95 which is more than Amazon's super saver shipping, but still is quite resonable. I have purchased MANY (at least 100) books from third party sellers on Amazon. I make sure I purchase from a seller with high ratings & I've never had any problems.
HTH,
Angela

I checked out abebooks.com and it's there! I forget the price already, but it was around $12, I think. I'm looking at a lot of prices.  I'm glad it's available. 
Angela, thank you for letting me know that you have had no problems with third party purchasing. I was nervous.

Great! I'm so glad.
By the way, I use the Amazon used book sellers regularly and have had a consistently good experience as well.

Check out bookfinder.com. I just checked and there were several copies of Story of Three Wise Kings under $10. It was the hardest book for me to find, also. The prices listed when you search include shipping, which makes it nice.
I regularly use Amazon book dealers. I've only had a few problems that were straightened out easily. If the book is much cheaper, even with added $3.95 shipping, I opt for that.
Story of the Three Wise Kings was one of the hardest for me to find. I think I bought mine on eBay, but it was paperback. I prefer hardcover for the books we'll use over and over again. And this is a great book.
Search also half.com and eBay for other options.
One TdeP book I'm looking for is his version of Noah's Ark. I don't want to pay a fortune, but I would like to find a copy.
One other suggestion, which is going to sound goofy. Sign up for Freecycle in your area. I just had a woman give me 10 TdeP books for free. Some people don't keep or cherish their books. Put an email request for the book, even offer to pay, and you might strike gold!

I just bought Hark! and Jingle through Amazon! I still need to figure out where I'm going to purchase Story of the Three Wise Kings. I'm running out of computer time!
