Customer Reviews

Excellent version of Dickens' classic story for young readers
This is a simplification, but very well done, of Dickens' Christmas story, and one children will love. The ghosts are scary, but not too much, and they will of course warm to all the characters. The illustrations - one on every page - are very well done, and the combination of normal text with cartoon "balloons" is very effective. An ideal book for leading up to Christmas for children who have been reading for about a year - read the book with them first and then watch the film, whether it's the one with Alistair Sim or the Muppets version!

Great little book!
I bought this for my 8 year old sister and she loved it! Good hardback cover! Great service provided!
