Grow your heart three sizes and get in on all of the Grinch-mas cheer with this Christmas classic–the ultimate Dr. Seuss holiday book that no collection is complete without! Every Who down in Who-ville liked Christmas a lot . . . but the Grinch, who lived just north of Who-ville, did NOT! Not since “‘Twas the night before Christmas” has the beginning of a Christmas tale been so … a Christmas tale been so instantly recognizable. This heartwarming story about the effects of the Christmas spirit will grow even the coldest and smallest of hearts. Like mistletoe, candy canes, and caroling, the Grinch is a mainstay of the holidays, and his story is the perfect gift for readers young and old.
“Irrepressible and irresistible.” —Kirkus Reviews

The classic picture book that finds the true meaning of Christmas as the Grinch tries to stop Christmas from coming for the Whos. Told in classic Seuss rhyme, it’s a book I loved as a kid and still enjoy as an adult.
This is my favorite Christmas story. I love to read the book and I love to watch the Jim Carey movie. I watch it every Christmas. I love the happiness after all the hard times from the Grinch.
A favorite holiday story is “How The Grinch Stole Christmas”, by Dr. Seuss! I Like the rhyming verses of the story and the illustrations are unique. The old Grinch tries to steal Christmas from the little people of Whoville… I used to read this aloud several times during the holiday season to my boys. I loved making funny voices and they did too!
No Christmas is complete without the reading of How The Grinch Stole Christmas. Dr. Seuss is the master of capturing the spirit of the season in a totally fantastical way. This was one of my favorite stories to read to students each year and now I love sharing it with my grandkids. Yes, I know it is a movie, so many think the book is unnecessary, but I would respectfully say they are just wrong! (And obviously the original animated version is the best). Kids enjoy reading and hearing the story with the memorable characters, engaging rhythm and rhyme, and the lesson learned. “Maybe Christmas, he thought, doesn’t come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.” If you haven’t done so, share this classic Seuss tale with your family this Christmas!
The ultimate in Christmas fun begins with The Whos in Whoville, particularly with little Cindy Lou Who, the tiny tot who helps the Grinch find his heart and the true spirit of Christmas.
“Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn’t before! What if Christmas, he thought, doesn’t come from a store. What if Christmas…perhaps…means a little bit more!”
― Dr. Seuss, How the Grinch Stole Christmas!
I read this to my kids and I have started reading it to my grandkids. I am hoping this is a tradition that continues for many years.
4.5+ stars to How the Grinch Stole Christmas!, a children’s picture book, written in 1957 by Dr. Seuss. I adored this favorite as a child, and I still watch the cartoon ever year at Christmas. I’ve also seen the Jim Carrey movie and will watch that one, too. It’s such a wonderful take of love and revenge…
Most folks who celebrate Christmas must have read or seen some version of this story at some point in their lives. If not, it’s basically a grinch that wants to stop Christmas because he has no heart… but when he sees the heartache he causes on all the children who no longer have presents under the tree (because he stole them), his heart grows bigger… and he returns everything ten-fold.
It’s a feel-good kinda story, when you are down and need something to make you feel better. But it has rhymes and beautiful pictures as well as moral lessons.
Every version brings something new to my eyes and mind and ears. I love this story and would watch it All the “who” people and the way the town celebrates Christmas… it’s May and all I can think about is watching it right now!
What’s a book you love to read around the holidays?
Maybe Christmas, he thought, doesn’t come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.
Sometimes, the classics just plain win out!
Who hasn’t felt like a bit of a grinch at times!? This is a great reminder for us about what we value and it’s even appropriate for ALL ages! =)
I read and my family and I watch the movie every year. A classic!
