This oversized, die-cut boardbook relates the legend of the candy cane through simple rhyme and colorful pictures.Families gathered to see something new at the candy store. The candy maker was eager to share his newest treat, but also the story behind it. While telling the story of Jesus' birth, he points out how his candy cane will help us remember.- It's shaped like a 'J' for Jesus, God's Son.- When you turn it upside down ... "It looks like a staff that the shephers used. They were the first ot hear the Good News."- The stripes are to help us "remember the day that Jesus washed all our sins away." The red symbolizes his blood; the white is because once forgiven, we are made white as snow.What I Like: It's a sweet story (no pun intended). The size and strength of the book are perfect for toddlers. The illustrations by Claudine Gevry fill every page with color and friendly characters.What I Dislike: The rhyme seems forced, lacking a consistent flow. Also, there's not a ton of action in the illustrations. It's mostly the candy maker talking inside his store.Overall Rating: Good.Tanya -- Christian Children's Book Review
This has been our Christmas book of choice for two years now and because my 3 yr. old son has read it all year long he has it memorized. The book has great illustrations and a nice simple rhyming story with a great message. I have read different versions of the history of the candy-cane, but this one is my favorite.
Love this author and their graphics. Been reading her books since babies were 6 months old through toddlerhood. They LOVE the graphics/art. Simple yet a variety of objects on a page to capture their attention. The Story lines are well written and age appropriate. And her books are sturdier for busy toddler hands that easily destroy many other board books. This is a pleasant story of the candycane and Jesus tied together. Even the grownups love this book.
Downloaded the kindle version and read to my childrens church class with red and white candy canes they loved it. i will say if you are not religious and you look at baby Jesus as a myth or folktale and you just want a little story to read to your kids this is not the book for you.This is for those who really believe in not only the birth but also the death of Christ Jesus. I dont know where ppl are getting the violent part from it just simply states what the red and the white part of the candy cane represents and the whole reason and meaning of Jesus birth. Its a really good book i would recommend it!
This is a great, simple, Christmas story. It is an oversized board book. Most board books that we have tend to be smaller- for small hands. This is really a full-size book size. I love the story of the candy cane-- a great illustration for children of all ages- and a great reminder again and again throughout the Christmas season, as candy canes are everywhere.I had heard the general story before when I was younger- but I think this story simplifies it into something younger children can enjoy. Great book- am so happy to add it to our Christmas book collection. :)
When I was a little girl, one of my teachers at school would always tell us the story of the candy cane. As Christmas was approaching this year, I wanted to find a book that told a similar story for toddlers. This one was perfect! We read it together almost every night and it has taught my children the true meaning of Christmas. I'm so thankful for this book. It has fostered some very good family discussions and has created warm Christmas memories.
My wife wanted this for her Pre School class. She loves it. Quality book, solid, heavyweight pages, nice illustrations. Well made. I have not read it, I am waiting for the movie.S is for Slow shipping. Ordered this for Christmas and it came 4 months later.
Crystal Bowman is now my favorite! My son loves the pictures in this book and I love that it is about God and His love. It has a very sweet message that children can understand.
