 Rating:  - Why would you inflict this book on a child at Christmas?The art in this book is truly beautiful and does an excellent job of conveying the sad, joyless life the Little Match Girl has versus the warm, colorful life of those around her. But this book is really not appropriate for a young child. We received it for Christmas for our 4-year-old daughter. She won't read it until she is old enough to find it in the library catalog all by herself, if I can help it. I read over some of the other comments about how this is the saddest ... Read More Rating:  - It Stabbed my SoulSummary: A poor, barefoot, little girl is sent out on New Year's Eve to sell matches. As the cold and hungry girl awaits a sell, she lights the matches to keep warm. With the matches lit, illusions occur. As with all illusions, the light goes out on them and the little girl is faced with a grim reality. The classic author depicts a memorable theme. The setting the author uses is intricately depicted giving the reader an almost live impression of the book's reality. As the character leaves ...

However, it has a very powerful messages in terms of love, care, poverty, cruelty and dreams. I gave an assignment to my ELD students in high school and some students even told me how touchy the story was. I love the pictures in this book. It's really creative. Overall it's a great, sad story for all ages. Rating: - I read it as a child, and it has helped me as an adult to understand myselfI want to agree with another reviewer that the meaning of the book for me was to look within for our own rich resources. That we can transform our own world if we transform our minds. The young girl used her imagination to picture herself out of the situation until it happened. Law of Attraction? Maybe from today's perspective. I just took it to mean that in this time in my life I have to go within to transform my own situation. God knows, I tried everything else :) I was read the ... Read More Rating: - A Winter FavoriteThis is one of my favorite stories to hear at Christmas-time. It really reminds you to be thankful of all that you have. My grandmother read this story to all of her grandchildren every year on Christmas Day. This story holds fond memories for me. Since she is no longer here to read the story to us, and now all of the grandchildren are adults, I wanted to have a copy of the story so that when I have children one day, I can read it to them. I want to carry on the tradition.
