I used this version to read with my kids. It has really useful vocabulary, and some good questions at the end of each section. There are 14 days, and it was a good amount for each day!

Fantastic version. Very effective for reading aloud to a group of students. Love the vocabulary listing and discussion questions.

I buy my son (6yo) new Christmas books every year. We read through them all every year leading up to the holiday. It started with very simple board books for his first Christmas and this year I thought I'd attempt a "classic", but woof. I love the definitions and explanations along the side bar - sometimes I would read those instead of reading the actual word. The discussion prompts at the end of each section were nice, too. It's definitely geared toward slightly older kids, and I gave up on finishing it with him this past year. I'm hopeful that he'll have more focus in coming years, though!

I love that this edition of A Christmas Carol breaks the staves into much smaller pieces perfect for bedtime reading. The discussion questions at the end of each segment were helpful to see what the kids weren’t quite grasping about the story. The definitions of some of the more unfamiliar words came in handy several times.

A Charles Dickens classic that needs to be a "perennial yuletide staple"

A timely reminder of the importance of kindness, family and friends. A great Christmas read!

Tried to do this as a read aloud with my kids (10 and 12). They just weren't into it, even after I switched to the audiobook with Hugh Grant. I finished it alone because I love it.
