It’s a fun way to learn to read and as a supplement for activity books for children.

A "handsome book on the beloved novelist. Dickens's troubled, well-documented life has plenty to interest children....Lucid, accessible....A lively, entertaining story for children who enjoy A Christmas Carol in its various guises....A must."—Kirkus Reviews.
