Illustrated Classics – A Christmas Carol: Abridged Novels With Review Questions

Ebenezer Scrooge turns down a dinner invitation, snaps at collectors raising money for the poor and begrudges his clerk a warm office, and then his dead business partner pays a visit. The story by Charles Dickens is abridged here for younger readers, with illustrations through the text and review questions closing the chapters. Those questions ask a child to recall what happened and to weigh why Scrooge behaves as he does, which turns a quick read into something a parent or teacher can talk over afterwards. A summary of the offering: • Dickens's Christmas story shortened without losing its shape • Chapter-end review questions for comprehension practice • Illustrated pages that carry the ghostly scenes • Language simplified for independent young readers A fit for children of around seven to eleven, and for classrooms covering the story in the winter term.
