You can't go wrong with this beloved Christmas classic. I had thought I wouldn't really like it before I read it. Now that I have, I realize how entertaining it is. Book was well received and makes you think to not take things for granted.

I was given a complimentary copy of this book.
All opinions expressed are my own.

I like the watercolor illustrations. I don't know that I would ever purchase this book for my child as I don't believe she would have ever sat still long enough to read it. I wish there were more illustrations in the book, which would reduce the amount of text per page making it less cumbersome for young readers.

I can see why this book is a classic. Great read and fast pace. Loved the characters and plot. Everyone should read this in Christmas. Plus I love the illustrations that Zwerger Lisbeth did were so beautiful and brought the story to life.

This was a good read. The illustrations were cute and fit well with the story. This book is well suited for children and people who have difficulty reading books without pictures, or tend to get bored. Overall, a good read. Would recommend.

I loved the illustration for this book! The cover is beautiful and alluring and it's such a good telling for children. This is one I can't wait to add to our personal bookshelf at home!

I really enjoyed this! It's the classic A Christmas Carol novel with beautiful watercolor illustrations throughout. I think it's always a great idea to release new editions of classic works to inspire new readers to pick them up, but this wasn't my all-time favorite. I think the illustrations were beautiful, but it also felt a bit basic. Maybe I'm tainted from seeing too many absolutely stunning editions of this book! So it's definitely probably a me thing and less about the book itself. Still, I think it's worth picking up!

Thank you to NetGalley and NorthSouth Books for an advanced copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This was an awesome version of the classic novel A Christmas Carol, aimed at younger readers. I thought the illustrations were amazing! They really captured the feel of the story, especially the colors that were chosen. I can only imagine how beautiful the physical copy is!

A Christmas Carol is always a great story. These illustrations weren't my favorite- they were more old fashioned than I prefer. However, for illustrations will he great for someone who enjoys that style.

I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

A Christmas Carol is my favourite childrens Christmas book ever and I never tire of reading it at Christmas time.
This edition was beautifully illustrated and made a great introduction read of this classic Christmas story, for children.
This book would make a lovely gift for any child to treasure!

A beautifully illustrated classic aimed at younger readers. The vivid watercolor style lends itself well to the ghostly story and adds an optimistic note to the story that can also be perceived as very grim.
The art is displayed throughout the book either in the form of small illustrations or bigger pieces covering the entire page reminiscent of the color plates.
The work of Dickens is often depicted in various forms of visual mediums, creating it's own distinctive style. The art created for this volume by Lisbeth Zwerger falls well within that fictional landscape while still having it's own spin and remaining original.
If you're looking for an illustrated version of A Christmas Carol for a reader of any age, look no further. This is it.

Charming, beautiful illustrations; I only wish there were more! It didn't feel like there were nearly enough.

With so many retellings and adaptations of A Christmas Carol it will be good for kids to get back to the original text. The illustrations help bring the story to life and should help to keep readers engaged.

A Christmas Carol is one of my favorite stories of all time. This book is a beautiful edition with gorgeous watercolor paintings throughout the story, illustrating some of the most important characters and moments. If you are looking for a new edition, or are wanting to gift a beautiful copy to someone this Christmas, I highly recommend this version.

*I received a digital edition in exchange for my honest opinion.

A Christmas Carol is, I think, one of Charles Dickens’ most popular stories. So many know the main aspects of the tale but, I imagine there are those who either have never read the original or who have not read it for many years. Now would be a good time to change that!

This version of the story is enhanced by its’ absolutely gorgeous and appealing illustrations. They are detailed and have a softness to them that I found that I very much appreciated. The illustrator’s artistry clearly adds to the reader’s experience as the pages turn.

Rereading A Christmas Carol has led me to remember that it would make a great Christmas season read aloud with a child. True, some of the vocabulary may need to be explained but there is something to be said for introducing a child to such a well-known and loved story.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this title. All opinions are my own

Thank you for the advanced copy, I lobe Charles Dickens and adored his books growing up.
This is utterly fantastic, the watercolours are beautiful. I will definitely purchase this.

This was my first time reading this classic Christmas tale. This was one of my favorite stories to watch on tv around Christmas time, and I’m so glad I finally read it, moreover I adores the illustrations of this book, they are so beautiful I feel like they enriched the story.

The watercolor illustrations are a beautiful additions to the Christmas classic by Charles Dickens. This would be a wonderful book to read aloud with your family at Christmastime.

When I was in group 6/7, I was allowed to participate in the Christmas musical Scrooge. This was my first encounter with Dickens' Christmas Story (A Christmas Carol). So I was very curious what reading this classic would be like 15 years later. I really enjoyed reading the story. It really came to life every now and then, especially with the beautiful but also spooky illustrations by Sophie Pluim. Occasionally, I would read a word and think of one of the songs from the musical or hear the dialogue in the voices of my 7th-grade classmates. It made for a special, personal reading experience that made me smile every now and then and sometimes a friend sent a voice message in which the songs I suddenly remembered sang.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing the ARC.

The review is for the illustrations as “A Christmas carol” is a classic. The watercolours throughout the story were good. I especially liked the scene with the ghost of past and I would love to get a physical copy.

Rather than yet another edited or rewritten version of the Dickens original, we get the real thing in this edition, so you'll have to judge whether the intended young reader of modern times would enjoy that. I quite liked the illustrations, but the watercolour-and-ink work didn't seem spectacularly novel – indeed they seemed to lack anything fresh or beautiful that would make this stand out. Still, it's been in constantly evolving iterations since the late 1980s, so what do I know?
