5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent version of Dickens' classic story for young readers, 13 Nov 2006
By 
Marianne Way "labritish" (Toulouse, France) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: A Christmas Carol (Usborne Young Reading) (Hardcover)
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!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good introduction, 16 Dec 2011

This review is from: A Christmas Carol (Usborne Young Reading) (Hardcover)
This is a reasonable precis of the original story, with decent illustrations. My son enjoyed it and sat still for the whole thing in one reading. Usborne can usually be relied on for high-quality introductory reading, and this is no exception.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good simple version of a classic story, 7 Dec 2011
This review is from: A Christmas Carol (Usborne Young Reading) (Hardcover)
I bought this book to familarise my class of 7 and 8 year olds with the basics of this story before we began a christmas production and it was perfect. It is true to the original story, simply but effectively told with lovely basic illustrations. All the children enjoyed it and understood the story very well without it being too simplified or young for them. I will also read this to my 5 year old daughter when we have finished with it in class and I'm sure she will enjoy it. A very good introduction to a classic story and very good value too.
