This is the classic story, with the real face of the scowling, mean spirited Grinch. The face changes from bad to worse, and then to tender when he finally "gets" the meaning of Christmas. As the Grinch disguies himself as Santa, the innocent town people of Whoville never seem to catch on as the Grinch forces his poor dog Max to help him steal all the toys and ornaments. He's so sure that one he's done away with the material goodies, the Christmas spirit will be gone. Little does the Grinch know, he would be wrong. This is a wonderful story with a message. The moral of the story for our children is, of course, that Christmas doesn't just come from a store. The importance of Christmas with its religious significance and its message of good will toward all mankind is stressed without banging the child on the head too aggressively. The story overall makes for a fascinating experience for children. As with many Dr. Suess books, children can use this book on a concrete, literal level to improve their vocabulary and reading skills. Older children will learn the importance of Christmas and the need for all mankind to respect each other and share the beauties of the world together.

4.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser06/05/2015My first exposure to ...My first exposure to "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" was not via the book but via the classic cartoon. Try as I might, I never quite understood how the Grinch's heart suddenly grew three sizes larger. It was too easy! Plus the Grinch scared the little me. Admittedly, I didn't grow up speaking English or celebrating Christmas, which is sort of like missing the context. Not having spent any brain cells on this over the years, I grew up, learned more about the true meaning of Christmas (vs. the commercialism), and for the first time, opened and read this book. I smiled. I get it now. :) While the cartoon has its merits, there's something demonstrative about Seuss' art on paper: the wickedness of Grinch's look, thoughts, and stealing presents from all the Who's, especially tiny Cindy Lou (who is frankly about the size of a walking peanut), Grinch's expression upon his realization, and his moment of dawning "Maybe Christmas...perhaps... means a little bit more!" The story reminded me a bit of the Christmas Carol. Scrooge, Grinch, Tiny Tim, Cindy Lou. Maybe it's on purpose, maybe not.varwenea

I like watching the cartoon because it is even more fun than the book. I haven't seen the movie with real people playing the characters as mom won't allow it in the house. She says its a "travesty". The grinch is really mean at first, but than becomes nice. I love Max the dog because he is so cute and funny. I like reading the words to because they rhyme and are silly. Jake's Rating: 10/10 Mom's Review: One of the best children's books every written and quite frankly it is impossible to put into words the total brilliance of this book. My Dad used to read this book to me all the time so each time I see it I am reminded of him. He was brilliant at voices and read it to us in a voice very close to Boris Karloff's. The story is funny and the moral so cleverly done that your children will get the point without feeling like they are being preached too. Like Jake I love the movie even more because it brought the story to life. I too love Max as he is the heart and soul of the cartoon. Still the book is a classic on its own and should be owned by everybody - whether you have kids or not. And by the way that live action movie is a travesty and will NEVER be let into this house - so deal with it Jake. Mom's Rating: 100/10 - CLASSIC!!!!mountie9

While the songs from the show are of course missing, the rest of the story holds up well as a read-along book. The use of colour is particularly striking, with only black, white, and shades of red and pink used throughout. The Grinch starts as a stark black and white character, with red being added to highlight his anger at the impeding celebrations, while as the book progresses the red somehow begins to feel softer, warmer, and more cheerful. This is due in part to the smart use of lines and curves in the drawings, and gives this book a special texture that is not found on television. Because there is more focus on the Grinch in the book than on the other characters (Max and Cindy Lou both seem far less consequential than they do in the cartoon), the seamless transition from the Grinch's repentance to his acceptance as a fellow celebrant with the Whos takes on another dimension, becoming a matter solely of internal conflict and change of heart. The story has long been lauded as a cry against commercialism, but a more subtle theme at the heart of the book version is battling one's own prejudices and accepting others the way they are, making this book ever more relevant for the times we live in.quaintlittlehead

And these make believe people talk too. This book is also done in rhymes. This story is about the Grinch that lives on a mountain overlooking Whoville and he has a heart two sizes too small who hates Christmas so he steals all the presents from the Whos. He then learns what Christmas is really about and his heart grows three sizes and he returns the presents to the whos. Age Appropriateness: primary Media: paint and paperrbelknap

4.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser09/12/2009How The Grinch Stole C...How The Grinch Stole Christmas is a classic Christmas holiday story. The Grinch is described as a mean character who does not like Christmas because it is too cheerful with singing, noise, feasts, and gifts. He tries to destroy Christmas for the "whos" by dressing up as Santa Claus and stealing all of their presents. The Grinch is dissatisfied when he hears that his plan has failed and the "whos" are still cheerful even without presents. This is when he realizes that Christmas is more than gifts. This is a story that teaches children that there is more to Christmas than gifts. In addition, it encourages happiness and kindness. This is a wonderful book to read to children of all ages during the Christmas holiday. It is also a good book to read to children who are learning about words that rhyme because it is a book full of rhyming words.MelanieRoss
