For kids grades K–3 and their parents — A Christmas Carol retold for young readers

Hey, kiddos! Jenny Nelson, our Director of Education & Community Outreach, is inviting you and your friends to gather around the breakfast table to read Charles Dickens’ famous holiday story, A Christmas Carol, retold just for young readers by Adam McKeown and illustrated by Gerald Kelley.

Because we are all staying safe and staying home, we’ll meet virtually, on Zoom. Jenny will read out loud, and we can talk about all the great pictures — plus, there will be interactive fun, along with a downloadable activity book.

There is a different version of the story for adults and older kids (A Merry Little Christmas Carol: A Playhouse Radio Drama) that will air on the radio — but this version is just for you.

UPDATE!

For those who weren’t able to join Jenny for the reading in person, scroll down to the bottom of the page. We’re sharing a video of one session of Jenny and her new friends so you can read along from home any time you want!
