Summary: What a great book!
Review: If you don't know where the candy cane came from, you need this book. It starts off by following a stranger that came to town and who eventually opens up a candy store on Christmas Eve. However, prior to doing so, he presents each of the town's families with something called a candy cane, and puts the story of its origination on each cane. Everyone comes to the grand opening of the candy store and they share a wonderful Christmas Eve with the store owner and a cup of hot chocolate! What a neat gift to give during the holidays for just about anyone, any age actually, because it really is neat to find out how it all started. I grabbed this one as soon as I thumbed through it at toysrus. Great, great book!

Summary: A Beautifully Written Legend
Review: Several years ago, my husband and I chose to give our children each a book at Christmas that they might pass down. The Legend of the Candy Cane tops our list of books in this collection thus far. This story is loved by all of us in the family and certainly knows no season. The lessons provided in this book are invaluable (provided you are looking to for a way to recapture Christ with Christmas). The illustartions keep the attention easily of my 2 year old and the text is loved by my 4 year old. Put this book on your wish list--- it's a keeper.

Summary: A Good Story - but it isn't HARDBOUND.. it is a BOARD BOOK
Review: The is a nice christmas story. A story to read with family and friends during the season... and brings a spirit of remembrance towards the life & gifts of Christ.But be forwarned - this book is not what I expected as a "HARDCOVER" book (ie a hardbound hardback book). It is a BOARDBOOK (a book where each page is made of thick cardstock). If you want a book in this format... this is a good story to have in your childrens library.

Summary: Captivating Little Story!!
Review: With beautiful artwork, and a marvelous story line, this book is a treasured must in any family's collection. It follows the story of a stranger who comes to town, with all the townsfolk hoping for something which suits their needs, but the children all secretly hoping for a candy store, which, in fact, it becomes. Then the story takes off, with the candy maker telling the story of the candy cane, and how it relates the birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and how we can share that story and our faith with others. It is a marvelous tool in the hands of parents (even if the story isn't quite accurate - some of it is), and children will love it being read over and over again. Let's face it - most of us love candy canes, or at least looking at them. Highly recommended.
