The Birds' Christmas Carol,
This was a book an elementary teacher read when I was in school. I still remember it and as a teacher, have also read it to some of my classes around Christmas time. So happy to have found it on Amazon.
The Birds' Christmas Carol,
This story touches the heart and soul. It is a beautiful way to remind ourselves of the true spirit of Christmas and our purpose in life. . . to love one another.
The Birds' Christmas Carol,
This looks like a workbook with the text taking up 18 pages and the rest of the book filled with fifteen 8.5 x 11 blank pages. No illustrations. No break between chapters. How can I give this as a gift. They have wrecked this wonderful tale with this terrible packaging. I'm sending it back.
The Birds' Christmas Carol,
My grandmother threw no children's books out ever since she had figured out that a new audience came along every few years. She read me The Bird's Christmas Carol in installments when I was around seven, I think. Later I inherited the book, which was the edition from the 1880's (old when Grandmother was young!). Yes, it is sentimental, bathetic, and Carol a little unbelievable but it's also a great Christmas story. The Ruggles's dialect is tough slogging but extremely funny once you figure out the style AND it's a good picture of poverty in the 1880's, should anyone be interested. The book is a wonderful period piece.
The Birds' Christmas Carol,
I first read this story on Christmas day when I was ten years old and never forgotten it. It is perhaps trite in this day and age but I loved it and read it to my children and then my grandchildren. It is a story of compassion and caring.
The Birds' Christmas Carol,
This was a Christmas gift and was awesome. Its perfect for kids and adults and a heartwarming gift for those of us who read it a long time ago.
