“All the BabyLit primers are super cute, and this is no exception. This color primer is very slim on text (two words per page), but there's room to fill in more of the story yourself if you know it!”

“I love the illustrations in this book, they are gorgeous! This book mentions little portions of the traditional Christmas Carol story and incorporates learning colors, but might feel a little disjointed for those who don't know the traditional story well (especially little ones).”
