Young Ebenezer: A New Christmas Carol by Rose English
For
This modern, lyrical re-telling of the Charles Dickens classic - ‘A Christmas Carol’ is bound to make anyone smile.
Specially designed for families to share during the Holiday Season, or for young readers to try for themselves, this little story has all the markings of a delightful timeless classic.
Clever rhymes accompanied by gorgeous illustrations will not only enchant with a magical tale, but also teach the little ones a little about the consequences of being selfish and unkind. Through a wonderful adaptation to our modern day life, where children would rather stay indoors and play with their iPads or consoles, this little tale reminds them about the simple joys of playing together,
'and having such fun,
caring and sharing
out under the sun.'
Eb is a spoilt child who hates sharing. But he is watched over by a very special guardian – the family’s ancient longcase clock, who is bestowed with magic - Grandfather Time.
It is on Christmas Eve that Grandfather Time decides he must teach the boy a lesson, with the help of his friends; the Ghosts of Past, Present and Future. And this is how young Eb suddenly finds himself on a magical journey, accompanied by a little golden-red King Charles spaniel, called Miss Ruby Heart.
Warm and endearing, this little magical tale will draw any reader in. Young and old alike will find it just as enchanting.
If you're on the lookout for a beautiful picture book for your little one, give Young Ebenezer a try.
Honest to goodness! It's beauty and magic on a page!
Happy reading my friends
and remember!
"Always be good,
fill your heart full of caring,
and never forget,
the great joy in sharing."
