Is there a more charming holiday tale to behold? Probably, but Lemony Snicket has not written one.

...this is one both the child and the parent will enjoy hearing.What other book might you compare The Lump of Coal to and why?
The Screaming Latke, A Holiday Story by Lemony Snicketbecause it is also a holiday story with the same tongue-in-cheek style but Chanukah focused. (would love an audible of this one)
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Great opportunity to show children that meaning of miracle can be ordinary and we can find it in our lives everyday.

What did you love best about The Lump of Coal?
The final message of this story is thoughtful, warm and wonderful. The story is witty. The protagonist is singular (amongst holiday stories, perhaps not in the grill.) Many holiday stories -- even ancient ones -- are about miracles. However, many new holiday stories are redundant. This one is not. And Neil Patrick Harris provides an excellent reading! His tone is very well suited to Snicket's prose.What other book might you compare The Lump of Coal to and why?
Like the protagonist, the story is rather singular. It is about the holidays, but, as many of the best stories are about more than their settings and plots, this story is about something more than Christmas and a lump of coal.Have you listened to any of Neil Patrick Harris’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I have not, but this one inclines me to seek him out.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I grow more fond of it every time we listen to it. Which, between Thanksgiving and Twelfth Day, is often.Any additional comments?
When will we have the Latke Who Couldn't Stop Screaming? I am baffled that this is not yet available as an audio book. It is very well suited to performance. Really, what's the hold-up? Is this another example of the latke being overshadowed by a christmas icon? And an obscure one at that. A lump of coal. The indignity.The delightfulness of The Lump of Coal makes me more anxious to hear the Latke brought to audible life.
When will we have the Latke Who Couldn't Stop. . .
