not what we expected

Neither myself nor my kids enjoyed this. I knew there were Carol's but I thought they'd be mingled in with the stories. Nope. It was 90% choir singing (which we are not fans of) and maybe 2 Christmas stories/poems. Wish I had not purchased.

The lack of stories

I really liked the stories and narration at the beginning. But it was followed by a church choir with a plunky piano and mostly singing of the carol melodies with no harmonies or parts. Very disappointing. I would add more stories and have fewer carols in 4 part harmonies in between the stories.

Not a book just pitchy singing

I don’t recommend this book at all- find a better Christmas Carol album and skip this one!
