A Christmas Carol with Grandfather Time by Rose English

My Review:

I always look out for children's books written in rhyme,
I find them winners, almost every time!
This book is a winner, a really great read, too,
Inspirational and educating, showing caring all through.

It retells A Christmas Carol in a child friendly way,
With young Ebenezer's ghostly encounters having sway.
He learns from the ghosts of past, present and future so
He'll be more caring and sharing wherever he'll go.

With Ruby, a red golden puppy's aid,
Overnight different scenarios are played.
And Ebenezer sees the impact of his choices
And his need to change, Santa voices.

Beautifully illustrated, this is a great read to share
With youngsters for whom you care.
With luck it will help inspire them, too,
To be caring and share in all they do.

For my complementary copy, I say thank you,
As I share with you this, my honest review.

A modern lyrical re-telling of the Charles Dickens classic for children of all ages. Young Ebenezer hates sharing and is not very caring. Can a magical clock and a ghost puppy help him mend his ways?
