 It brought tears to my eyes.Jun 22, 1999
This is the most beautiful story I've ever read. Whether it's Christmas time or the fourth of July, I love reading this book with my younger relatives. It tells the story of the candy cane with so much emphasis on Jesus. Christmas has become very materialistic to children, but books like this put things in perspective. It takes an ordinary candy and makes it a symbol for Jesus- his death and his purity. This is my all time favorite childrens book.

a very special nightNov 06, 2007
By Reader Views
"Reviews, by readers, for readers"
Reviewed by Brianne Plach for Reader Views (10/07)
There is excitement in the air! A new store will be opening! The anticipation is almost too much for young Lucy. Everyone thinks they know what type of store it will be. Lucy is a very curious girl. She has been watching the store be created by its new owner. She is very excited when she gets asked if she would like to help him.
John Sonnemann is a candy man. He has decided to open his candy store on a very special night, Christmas Eve. John does more than just sell candy; he explains the story of why candy canes are being made as a symbol of Christmas. They have a definite reason why a cane is shaped like a J.
With very beautiful pictures in, this sweet and heartwarming story unfolds in "The Legend of the Candy Cane." Every candy cane you see during the season of Christmas should remind you of Jesus Christ's reason for coming to Earth. Remember Jesus when it comes to Christmas, He truly is the reason for the season.

The Spirit Of ChristmasNov 16, 2010
By stampgirl2
I have four children eight and under and have been collecting hardcover Christmas books for the past ten years since my husband and I got married. We purchase two to three new books a year and specifically look for books that have wonderful meanings and beautiful illustrations. This book does not disappoint. I have read it to my kids every Christmas for the past six years, and while I know the story, it still makes my cry every year while I read it. It's beautiful and my children all love it. This would be a wonderful addition to any Christmas library for children and adults alike. One of the best messages of Christmas.

If you're looking for an Inspirational story that tells the true meaning of Christmas, this is great choice. The "Legend" line sometimes feels contrived to me, but this is one of the better books in the series.

Great Christian ResourceDec 14, 2008
By Karen S. Morris
"actdree"
We have had the board book version of this book for a long time. I shared it with my children (who are now six) two years ago. They enjoyed the book and I enjoyed the story behind the Christmas tradition. We wanted the larger version since our board book has long since been broken. I especially love the illustrations in the book. They are so real and life-like. It is a great way to share a Christmas story from a Christian perspective.
