Bah! Humbug!: Every Christmas Needs a Little Scrooge
Bah! Humbug!: Every Christmas Needs a Little Scrooge | Michael Rosen
8 posts | 6 read | 1 reading | 6 to read
This Christmas, join Michael Rosen and Tony Ross with their unforgettable retelling of Charles Dickens' beloved classic. In a school theatrical production of "A Christmas Carol", the boy who plays Scrooge is extra nervous because his very busy father is in the audience. However, it's likely his father won't stay for the duration, due to business. As always. Will the classic story's message of Christmas cheer and family love reach his father's distracted heart?

3⭐️ This book isn't bad for a younger kid to read. As an adult it was a bit blahh. Harry gets the honor of playing Scrooge in his school's production of A Christmas Carol. His dad promises to see him in the play, but he is glued to his cell phone and things going on at work. This book almost a retelling of a christmas story. Kids will enjoy it, parents, maybe not unless read as a family project together.

MaGoose I love this version of the Christmas Carol and think it's the best. I don't watch other versions. Even the version with George C. Scott doesn't compare - Scott is great, but the rest of the cast sucks. 5y
Deblovestoread @MaGoose This is my favorite version as well. 5y

Review based on an ARC.

That this book contains the heart of one of my all-time favorite stories ever, certainly gives it a leg up. But I felt that Rosen did a really nice job, once he settled into the story a bit, of showing a modern-day Scrooge story... a story where you *understand* the scroogey'ness of the father, but cannot bear it for the pain it causes. By offering little snippets of perspectives from...

And last but not least candlestick press sent this. My inventory shows I already own it, so if it‘s not a typo and I now have two copies, this will go in one of my Christmas swaps. I think. #bookhaul

Fantastic read! Slightly worried if you don't know the story A Christmas Carol then you wouldn't totally understand this book. But as far as children's book goes, it's damn good! #bahhumbug #christmas #book #childrensbook
