About the Author
Charles Dickens (1812-1870) was one of the most prolific authors of the nineteenth century. In his many short stories, plays, novellas, and novels, he created some of literature’s most memorable characters.
Chuck Fischer’s paintings hang in some of the finest residences in the world. His designs have been reproduced on holiday ornaments and home furnishings, including wallpaper and fabrics in the permanent collection of the Cooper-Hewitt Museum. He is the author of six previous pop-up books: The White House, Great American Houses and Gardens, Christmas in New York, Christmas Around the World, In the Beginning, and Angels: A Pop-Up Book. He lives in New York and Florida.

MY THOUGHTS:
ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT
This is such a fantastic book. I can’t believe the amount of detail that is in this pop up book. The art really enhances the story. The original story is contained in small booklets pocketed on each fold out. This would be perfect to read out loud, covering one section each night leading up to Christmas. I think this would capture the attention of even the most jaded child or adult. This is the first book by Chuck Fischer that I have ever seen, but it won’t be my last.

This book looks beautiful, a real visual feast! When I went to Chuck’s blog, I found he’s done several other gorgeous pop-up style books, including a couple other Christmas ones and an Angel one. He is very talented.

A Christmas Carol is definitely my favorite Christmas stories and movies. The book looks like it really makes the story come to life and it’s absolutely beautiful!
I went to Chucks blog and saw that he has an interactive book app. He even has a Youtube video about an interactive version of A Christmas Carol that looks really cool.
Thanks!
