Product Review

It's Charles Dickens' beloved tale about the true meaning of Christmas--with a delightful twist. In the innovative format of an Advent calendar, the story is retold in 24 miniature board books, which are nestled within a backer. The books are meant to be opened, one per day, from December 1st through Christmas Eve. Read in sequence, they tell the classic tale of Ebenezer Scrooge, his ghostly visitors, and the family of Bob Cratchit and Tiny Tim. The jewel-like books, with four different trim sizes and gold thread loops, are also meant to be used as Christmas tree ornaments.

This review is from: A Christmas Carol Book Set & Advent Calendar (Workman Undated Diaries/Advent Calendars) (Calendar)

I've had this advent calendar/storybook set since I was a little girl, and every year it continues to brighten my December. Dickens' classic tale is told charmingly in the 24 books contained in this set, with a surprising amount of original text incorporated with lovely illustrations. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to make their or someone else's Christmas a little more special.
