Edgar Allan Poe's 12 Days of Christmas (Once Upon A Christmas Dreary) Reviews

  • Christine

    I guess this is for children considering the overly long word definitions at the end, but I am not sure what teacher would use this. The artwork isn't to my taste and it tries too hard for humor that doesn't work.

    Rounded up from 1.5 because it was a good try.

  • Karen Waller

    Morbidly funny

    I loved the reference to so many of Poe's works intermingled with facts from his life. Not your typical Christmas book.

  • Erica Baxter

    I was a huge fan of Edgar Allan Poe when I was a kid, so I was looking forward to this one. I will say that I enjoyed the accompanying art. However, I wasn't much of a fan of the writing. The rhyming and meter felt strained. And the tone was a bit dull and morbid. There were a number of references to classic pieces of literature; and, while these might appeal to literary scholars, they don't contribute much to the story and seem very out of place in a book recommended for 5-18 year old readers.
