Great for kids!,
By germantownmom (Katy, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Christmas Carol: A Young Reader's Edition of the Classic Holiday Tale (Hardcover)
This edition keeps all the music of Charles Dickens' language but the illustrations make it more accessible for kids. That said, the language is still very challenging so expect to do a lot of explaining. The exposure to classic literature is well worth the effort tho!

Nice "adapted" version,

This review is from: A Christmas Carol: A Young Reader's Edition of the Classic Holiday Tale (Hardcover)
This version was "dumbed down" a bit for younger kids, but sticks fairly closely to the original language. I read it to my 5-year old at Christmas and it was probably a bit too old for him. I'd say this version would be good to read to about a 7 year old or for a 9 or 10 year old to read on his or her own. Illustrations were not that impressive.

A Christmas Carol,

This review is from: A Christmas Carol: A Young Reader's Edition of the Classic Holiday Tale (Hardcover)
There is something for everyone in this book. It contains the story of a mean man who receives redemption. Ebeneezer is able to change only with the intervention of three ghostly visitors. They come to him and show his past, present, and future. Throughout the journey, the reader has a chance to see possible mistakes that Scrooge made and how he has suffered from it. This is not only a Christmas classic, but a human nature classic.
