What's your favorite version of A Christmas Carol? Some have such beautiful illustrations!
Yesterday's teen book discussion was on this book and we talked about everything from life in the mid 1800's to dreams!! The story really lends itself to many topics of discussion! Thanks to all the teens who attended!
On Thursday, December 19 we're going to watch the movie followed by some improv....always a fun activity!!!
If you want to join in the fun give us a call @ 838-2394, or register on the library calendar http://www.libraryinsight.com/calendar.asp?jx=ra
My favorite version of "A Christmas Carol" is the Disney version. Scrooge McDuck makes me laugh.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite version is A Muppet Christmas Carol. I love the songs, and despite being a Muppet production, it's actually pretty close to the book!
ReplyDeleteI've seen a number of versions lately! It's so fun to see the same story with different people, puppets or animated characters!

I am really fond of "A Christmas Carol". It's an excellent story that extracts the true meaning of Christmas.
DeleteOne of my favorite retellings is a webcomic inspired by Super Mario Bros. and other Nintendo games. You can read it here: http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/2009/12/01/201-a-mushroom-kingdom-carol/
(Note: to understand all the jokes, you'll have to know a lot about Nintendo. I'm a tried and true Nintendo gamer, and I still haven't understood all the references.)
