But when three seriously spooky ghosts turn up to take him on an adventure through time, he soon learns that being cold isn't cool. Can he change his ways before it's too late?

Critical Reviews

This is my husbands favourite Christmas story and he loved reading it to my daughter.

The classic A Christmas Carol story special for kids.

A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens is my favourite book of all times and I love every edition of this story.
This book I think is well summarised for the kids with beautiful illustrations and it doesn't let anything essential behind.

--Alexa Cataline

This was a great, condensed version of the classic suitable for early readers! I liked the black and white illustrations mixed with the text.

--Kristy Morales

I've always loved to read and reread multiple iterations of A Christmas Carol ever since I was a kid.

This illustrated version of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol makes it easy for children to read or to be read by parents for them. The illustrations beautifully capture the essence of the original story.

This was a great, condensed version of the classic suitable for early readers. I really liked the black and white illustrations mixed with the text.

--Ankit Dhirasaria

This is a condensed version of the Dickens' classic with some fun and silly illustrations. It's suitable for the young reader and I think a lot of them would enjoy reading this edition.

--Kristin Jørgensen

Who's ready for a Christmas story?
Are you expecting cheers, snow-fights, cakes, tarts, and Christmas trees? Well, none of those, Dickens is here to introduce you to an old man who is as cold and hard as your imagination could take you. And he, my friends, is not on holiday for Christmas! Is this man working on a Christmas Eve? Yes, this man is up for no celebration.

Do you think that the ice around this man can be broken on Christmas? Think twice before answering, because this man is the most heartless fellow you might have come across.--Nidhi Sinha

What a wonderful adaptation! The language is easy, whilst being faithful to the original story and it's famous phrases and the illustrations are in a fun style that children will enjoy - it reminded me of watching cartoons!

--Jessica Chapman

An excellent adaptation of this Charles Dickens classic, not too scary but just scary enough! My granddaughter will thoroughly enjoy this and it will definitely be in her Christmas stocking.
