A frost covered his head, his eyebrows, and his pointed chin. He iced his offices, and he didn't thaw it one degree at Christmas. (p. 13)
As you know that the word, 'Scrooge-like' means someone is stingy, Scrooge is a cold and greedy man at first, but in the end he can change his thinking at the right foot. That's why I like this book. I think he has been so stingy about money since he had lost his reliable partner. However, his partner appeared suddenly as a ghost and took Scrooge to the city to show the people's poverty. I think his partner didn't Scrooge to regret in his life and hope that Scrooge was loved by people by giving people happiness in the Christmas Day.
This book is in Helbling Readers series. It has some questions which give us important points to understand the plot. I think it is a heartwarming story and it reminds us of the importance of giving happiness as far as we can. I recommend you to read it.
