Handpicked, preowned, BEN'S CHRISTMAS CAROL
FORWARD, TOBY
Published by Dutton Books for Young Readers (1996)
From Booklist
Ages 5-9. As Scrooge is being escorted around town by ghosts on Christmas Eve, Ben, a miserly mouse living in Scrooge's house, is taken on a similar tour by a ghost mouse named Jake. Ben bets the ghost that he will have no trouble giving away a luscious candied plum, but to his surprise, the mice Ben offers it to have more important things on their minds. Forward deftly reworks Dickens' famous story, upholding both its serious message and its joyous conclusion. The paintings are sumptuous, with mouse characters seeming at once real rodents and disguised humans, and Victorian London is displayed in all its moods--from spooky and grimy to celebratory. Children familiar with Dickens' original story will enjoy this takeoff the most, but the tale can also serve as a good introduction to the Christmas classic.
