The Animals' Christmas Carol

(4) K-3 In this picture book adaptation of Dickens's A Christmas Carol, the Spirit of Christmas shows Scrooge, who is a stingy goat, scenes from his past and gives him a glimpse of the Cratchit family's humble but happy Christmas celebration. The story has been simplified, but it's an adequate introduction to the familiar holiday tale, and the animal characters are well drawn.
