 Great Book for a Christian Christmas
We had the board book version of the Legend of the Christmas Tree. I really appreciated how it presented from a Christian perspective why we use Christmas trees. I knew that the large version of the book would have more information than the board book. It did. The plan is to use this with our children each year after we put up our tree to remind us why we have a tree and how it reflects Christ.

 Could this book have a few more adjectives?!
I'll save this one and read it every Christmas, BUT it is extremely heavy on the adjectives, and totally corny. I would skip this one if I were you, for me it's not worth the money to send it back!!

disappointing ( rrussell121 )
I avidly read children's literature. (I'm a teacher- what can you expect?) I thought the idea of the story was nice, but the author seemed to be trying too hard. The story didn't always flow smoothly from page to page (or sometimes from sentence to sentence). The book seemed to be almost littered with adjectives that distracted me from the story. Save your money.

A great book ( jlhkin )
with a great message. I enjoyed this book very much myself. I used it in children's church during December. The children loved it and could tell others what the legend was.

A Legend with some History
Using the format of a family searching for a Christmas tree, the story tells about the legend which began during the Reformation. In Germany in the 1500's, Martin Luther (founder of the Lutheran Church) brought a tree into his house and he set candles on it to celebrate Jesus, the Light of the World. There's a brief mention of the Biblical significance of Christmas. Many people find it appropriate for public school use along with the singing of the song, "Oh, Christmas Tree."
The birthdays of famous people are recognized so in recognizing Jesus' birthday it is historically significant to know why he is famous.
