How the Grinch Stole Christmas! (Classic Seuss)

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 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

Excellent. Having not read this myself as a child, I was looking forward to reading it for my 4 and 5 year olds. Not only do they love it, but their mother does too! Lovely Christmas story, well told, with clever rhyming. I'm not a fan of all the Dr. Seuss book, but this one if up there with 'The Cat in the Hat' for me.

I wanted so much to give this a 5 because this is the book I have always come to love but clearly they need to do some quality control because not only was it printed upside down and backwards ( which I could probably play off that it was the grinch playing games ) but the bottom of the pages aren’t even cut they are all jagged and uneven and it causes this to look so tacky... unfortunately this is a gift with no time to return and replace

Book cover and pages aren't facing the correct way. Right side up cover, upside down pages. Disappointing quality!

It's a classic obviously but my 3 year old was scared of the picture on the front cover and I had to remove the book from his room before he could fall asleep. He was fine with the story itself - but I had not noticed that Grinch's red eyes glisten in the dark (metallic print) and frankly they looked pretty evil even to me. So just FYI there if you want to avoid scaring your little one.. Also I wish the illustrations were in full color.

Would be 5 stars if the grinch stuffed the bags up the chimney!! What’s a Chimbley? How can a classic get messed up like this??
