A Christmas Carol, illustrated by P. J. Lynch (2006)
Every word of the story, with P. J. Lynch’s paintings.
The words are the whole point, but a child (or an adult) can stay with them longer if there is something to look at.
You want to read the real story aloud to someone, with pictures to look at while you do.

Whose story is it?
Scrooge’s, and the Cratchits’, because the pictures linger on them.
