Notes: A whimsical tale, if simple in scale and finishing lean, but offset by charm—and, to my alarm, this Grinch isn't green!

*Progress update

We are huge fans of the Grinch in our house. We watch the movie every year, with the 2018 animated version being our favorite. I used to read the book to my kids every Christmas when they were little. Now that they’re teenagers, we pulled out our old copy again this year, and they read it with me on Christmas Eve, still enjoying it just as much as they did back then.💚

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but the movie is better (it’s Ron Howard’s fault, not mine).

Lo, good people, here is the hagiography of the Grinch and his Christmas miracle that canonized his tumultuous tale of midnight mischief. With each returning of the festive season, the tale of the Grinch is told again and again, bewitching the minds of children nestled in their bed as a message on the meaning of the season to cut through all the packages, boxes and bags that clutter our hearts and homes during this time. For the Grinch, a foul creature who stomped about in his chilly cave and—up...

Terrific audio by Boris Karloff on YouTube with five songs! Highly recommend! ~22 mins. 🎶🧦🎄🎅https://youtu.be/lvneGep9TPo.｡❅｡.December 2021.｡❅｡.This was a read-along and my first Dr. Seuss read😄! I think my mom bought a copy for me when I was little, a hazy memory of seeing it in a basket, but I don't remember reading it. I wish I still have it.The audiobook narrated by Walter Matthau was a winner, I'm sure I want to listen to this again next year along with a picture book. 🎄Thank you Debbi...

I bought this for my youngest daughter, 4-years old, as a surprise, early Christmas present. Suffice to say, this classic tale has aged well. She loved it as much as I did when I was her age. A little girl enjoying a great Christmas story with a good moral to it, and fond memories of her enthralled from start to finish is definitely a 5-star rating in my book!

WHERE ARE YOU, CHRISTMAS?WHY DID YOU MOVE AWAY?Faith HillHow the Grinch Stole Christmas was a sorta watershed kiddies’ picture book for me when I was seven.For I had graduated to the childishly ‘more adult’ stage of my reading career, since the previous summer I had seen firsthand the vastness of Canada, on a cross-country train trip with many a whistle stop.Each train station, of course, had a smoke shop (natch - it was 1957, and EVERYONE smoked EVERYWHERE!) with rows and rows of family magazin...

My all-time favorite Dr. Seuss' story! HOW THE GRINCH STOLE OUR HEARTS AND SOULS It could be his head wasn’t screwed on just right. It could be, perhaps, that his shoes were too tight, But I think that the most likely reason of all May have been that his heart was too sizes too small, Okay, people, this is it! This is my favorite tale by Dr. Seuss, and I am quite certain that it must be the most popular and known of his works. We are in Who-ville again and The Grinch is up to n...

How is it that I did not remember that the Grinch in the book is not green? Picking up Dr. Seuss’s How the Grinch Stole Christmas for a holiday-time re-read, I found that that realization was what really struck me. There is green in the book, of course – the back cover and the spine are green, and Dr. Seuss’s name on the front cover is green, and there are jagged green accent marks around the picture of the Grinch on the cover. But the Grinch himself? White, with red eyes. Somehow, that changed ...

THE GRINCH
GOT A WONDERFUL, AWFUL IDEA!

This was just so sweet and amazing. Love this Grinch more than the movie one. I wish we had Dr.Seuss when I was younger. I do not remember having or knowing any of his books until high-school.
