Wonderful illustrations and written in a condensed manner for middle grades. This book gives a different impression of the story than the Disney version children are used to from the common Christmas traditions.
Such a great adaptation for a picture book - and the watercolor and pen artwork is to die for.
Watercolor and digital illustrations provide atmospheric support for the classic story of a man who has lost his way and become focused only on making and holding onto money. The name of Ebeneezer Scrooge has become synonymous with greed and stinginess while his nighttime adventures with the Ghost of Christmas Past, the Ghost of Christmas Present, and the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come remind him of the error of his ways and soften his heart. While this picture book version of the classic story,...
Very rushed. I know there's only so much you can do in the picture book medium, and this book hit the *most* important notes, but it didn't go a single word beyond them. So as a result, people who know this story inside and out will be frustrated, and people who don't know the story at all might be a little lost in the whirlwind. It gets the job done, though.The illustrations are breathtaking. They're easily the best I've seen in a written adaptation of the book.
This was a very well done adaptation of the book by Charles Dickens. This illustrated version gives an accurate idea of what occurs in the original book. For children, this version is perfect if they have a shorter attention span, or need a refresher before watching the play or movie versions. I enjoyed the way the artist used watercolor - not washed out, but instead, full of vibrant color!
Illustrations were sumptuous. The story was fine, but after having read the original it seemed light and it was missing the depth of emotions. He tried to convey it with words; but he didn’t hit the right marks. Definitely a beginner version of the story.
Beautiful pictures. Seems like a transposed version of Charles Dickens’ original Christmas Carol but something wasn’t quite the same as the Dickens’ version.
Lovely & child friendly version of an evergreen masterpieceVery good illustrated book to introduce my 5-year-old to C.D.: he truly enjoyed it! I got the ebook at a very good price.
This is an excellent retelling of Dickens' The Christmas Carol that is illustrated and told well for children. I highly recommend this as a book for children. It is the perfect introduction to one of the best Christmas stories.
Seems to be missing some fairly minor peeps...
This book was for Day 3 in our countdown to Christmas. The story is a VERY simplified version of the original, with lots of plot holes but appropriate for a young audience. The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come was sufficiently scary to my 3 year old. So glad I could share this classic with him!
Great illustrated child's picture book version of this wonderful classic!
A perfect edition of Dickens,' Christmas Carol for early or pre-readers. Gorgeous illustrations and a faithful rendering for a younger audience. Pair with Magic Tree House #44 which tells of Jack and Annie's adventures with Charles Dickens. We'll be reading this for a few years!
