A Christmas Carol is the most famous, heart-warming and chilling
festive story of them all. In these pages we meet Ebenezer Scrooge,
whose name is synonymous with greed and parsimony: 'Every idiot who
goes about with "Merry Christmas" on his lips, should be boiled
with his own pudding, and buried with a stake of holly through his
heart'. This attitude is soon challenged when the ghost of his old
partner, Jacob Marley, returns from the grave to haunt him on
Christmas Eve. Scrooge is then visited in turn by three spirits of
Christmas Past, Present and Future, each one revealing the error of
his ways and gradually melting the frozen heart of this old miser,
leading him towards his redemption. On the journey we take with
Scrooge we encounter a rich array of Dickensian characters
including the poor Cratchit family with the ailing Tiny Tim and the
generous and jolly Fezziwig. When Charles Dickens wrote A Christmas
Carol in 1843 he fashioned an enduring gift to the world, capturing
the essence of the love, kindness and generosity of the Christmas
season. It is a timeless classic and the story's uplifting magic
remains as potent today as when it was first published.
A heartwarming and engaging Mr Men Little Miss story about the joy
of sharing. Little Miss Sunshine and Mr Cool love sharing, but
sometimes it can be difficult to share. Mr Grumpy and Little Miss
Stubborn find it particularly hard. Will they learn to enjoy
sharing too with some help from their friends? The Mr Men and
Little Miss are the perfect characters to help children understand
a bit more about their own emotions and how to manage them. With
engaging questions to encourage conversations and some helpful tips
from favourite characters to help children develop their emotional
intelligence.
