A timely retelling of A Christmas Carol for the whole family about a smartphone-obsessed dad.
This Christmas, join Michael Rosen and Tony Ross with their unforgettable retelling of Charles Dickens's beloved holiday classic. Harry Gruber plays the role of Scrooge in his school's production of "A Christmas Carol," and he is extra nervous about tonight's performance because his father is in the audience — not away for business, as usual. Will the story's message of Christmas cheer and the redemptive power of love reach his father's distracted Scrooge heart?
An accessible and funny morality tale that's useful reading for work-obsessed parents as well as their children. —Kirkus Reviews
A magnificent, magical retelling of Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol, author Michael Rosen has woven a brilliant tale within a tale, perfectly complemented by the marvelous illustrations of Tony Ross. At once lighthearted and a cautionary story for young and old alike, Bah!Humbug! is perfectly executed in every way. —Kendal Rautzhan's "Books to Borrow"
