Lit for Little Hands: "A Christmas Carol" (2019)


Lit for Little Hands: "A Christmas Carol" (2019)
Familius
Adapter: Brooke Jorden
Illustrator: David Miles

We jump ahead to the 21st century for this fun little adaptation of "A Christmas Carol" for youngsters from the "Lit for Little Hands" series!

It's a chunky little board book with a simplified (but not really dumbed-down) text and kid-friendly illustrations:




For extra kid-friendly fun, each two-page spread has some sort of moving part, that you pull or spin or whatever for some little detail. For example, on the left hand side of the above picture of Scrooge and the Ghost of Christmas Past is a little tab (not visible in this stock illustration) that, when pulled, reveals the two of them flying through the window!

You can find out more at the Familius website.

Always good to see new treatments for a new generation!

And props for giving Scrooge a bit of that "frosty rime" on his wiry chin!
