Customer Reviews

Beautifully illustrated

I purchased this book for my daughter for Christmas. It is well written for children and illustrated by the same gentleman that illustrated Lemony Snicket's "Series of Unfortunate Events". It is a wonderful edition to anyone's library: young or old.

My students loved it.

I bought this to read to my third graders. We were comparing and contrasting this story with The Grinch Who Stole Christmas. They loved the story. It helped to talk about Charles Dickens, the era that he wrote the story, and why he wrote it. The pictures are nice, too.
