A Christmas Carol

I sent a book to family for future grandchildren and bought another book for myself just to enjoy and marvel at the skill of the painter. Excellence in every respect.

Great book but found it cheaper elsewhere

It is so refreshing to see a book that retells the Charles Dickens's classic in such a charming and intriguing manner for children of all ages. This is one special children's book that should be in the library of every home with children and should be read every Christmas. While the book is a children's book, most adults will also love this vividly illustrated Christmas classic."A Christmas Carol" is an absolutely beautifully illustrated children's Christmas book. The hardback book measures 9 1/4 inches by 11 1/4 inches and has 40 pages. Every page is a full color full page beautifully illustrated experience. The text is superimposed on many of the illustrations. The artist, Gerald Kelly, did a superb job of conveying the atmosphere and feelings of the characters and situations in the story. One could simply just look at the illustrations and visualize the story in their mind without even reading the text.The author, Adam Mckeown, has a very unique gift of writing in a manner that captures the interest of the reader. The reader will have sparked interest and anticipation as they read each page and view the splendid illustrations. I love the author's beautiful descriptive writing style. He uses lots of appropriate figurative language including some beautiful metaphors and similes. Here is a wonderful excerpt showing the author's style - "Scrooge! Now he was a hard-hearted greedy old miser! No winter frost was colder than Scrooge, and no wind blew more bitterly. If he had a heart, it was frozen solid. - ... He walked home to an empty house, where he lived as solitary as an oyster."This is a tremendous children's book that teaches that wonderful lesson that no matter how hard, cold and selfish a person can be, there is hope for change in the message of Christmas. I highly recommend the book to all children, but adults would also thoroughly enjoy this beautifully illustrated book.

This was purchased to use in a 4th grade classroom. Well written for this age group, covering all the main details of the original. Illustrations are fantastic, bright, colorful, and engaging.

This book is in perfect condition, was wrapped beautifully and arrived quickly. I will enjoy reading this story with my grandies at Christmas. A lovely book. Many thanks to Addie's Place.

This is an excellent version of A Christmas Carol for children. The digital read aloud version is phenomenal... I love the reader! Very engaging. My third grade students actually applauded after listening to the read aloud version. I'm so glad I found this book and read aloud!

We loved it

Follow the Dickens language and lovely pictures. Nice introduction to the story for 5+. This is a good book for parents, etc to read to children.

Very 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.

Arrived today and looks great. Looking forward to reading with my kids.

My son enjoyed it a ton, its a very nice book, short for kids starting to read and with nice illustrations.

Always loved Dickens' writing including "A Christmas Carol". His sophisticated and understated British writing style is a bit hard to grasp for today's 'in your face' style loving students. I bought this book to share with my elementary students during the pandemic shutdown, and they really loved it. Written with simplicity and illustrated beautifully, this book really enabled my students to think clearly and imaginatively about Dickens' Classic as well as the true story that Dickens' alludes to with the masterful stroke of his pen! Bravo!
