Amazon.com Review

This bite-size book is not much bigger than the Grinch's heart, but it packs a world of warmth between its cute little covers. It consists of 25 color photos from the How the Grinch Stole Christmas film interspersed with Dr. Seuss drawings and quotes representing the Whos' cheery, pro-holiday philosophy ("Every size of Who / we can measure / knows that Whobilation / is a time we must treasure") and the Grinch's spoilsport opinions about Santa (whom he calls "Fat Boy") and the Whos ("those yuletide-loving, sickly sweet, nog-sucking cheermongers"). There's not a lot to this teeny hardback with a soft heart, but it should suffice to give kids a chance to relive the film in a state of blissful "Whobilation." And boy, does Jim Carrey look convincing in his Grinch makeup.

More About the Author

"A person's a person, no matter how small," Theodor Seuss Geisel, a.k.a. Dr. Seuss, would say. "Children want the same things we want. To laugh, to be challenged, to be entertained and delighted."

Brilliant, playful, and always respectful of children, Dr. Seuss charmed his way into the consciousness of four generations of youngsters and parents. In the process, he helped millions of kids learn to read.

Dr. Seuss was born Theodor Geisel in Springfield, Massachusetts, on March 2, 1904. After graduating from Dartmouth College in 1925, he went to Oxford University, intending to acquire a doctorate in literature. At Oxford, Geisel met Helen Palmer, whom he wed in 1927. Upon his return to America later that year, Geisel published cartoons and humorous articles for Judge, the leading humor magazine in America at that time. His cartoons also appeared in major magazines such as Life, Vanity Fair, and Liberty. Geisel gained national exposure when he won an advertising contract for an insecticide called Flit. He coined the phrase, "Quick, Henry, the Flit!" which became a popular expression.

Geisel published his first children's book, And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street, in 1937, after 27 publishers rejected it.

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1984, an Academy Award, three Emmy Awards, three Grammy Awards, and three Caldecott Honors, Geisel wrote and illustrated 44 books. While Theodor Geisel died on September 24, 1991, Dr. Seuss lives on, inspiring generations of children of all ages to explore the joys of reading.

This review is from: How the Grinch Stole Christmas! Grinch and Bear It: Life According to the Supreme Green Meanie (Life Favors(TM)) (Hardcover)

Look at the face and you are reminded of the garrulous face of the apes of the dense jungles.

Everyone knows how the Grinch stole Christmas, but few really know the Grinch himself. Here, in a collection excerpted from the Universal Studios film adaptation of the classic Dr. Seuss story, are quotes directly from the supreme green meany, as well as from the tamer citizens of Who-ville.

A wonderful story with a message we can't hear enough. Add this to a child's Christmas bookshelf, or give it to that grumpy coworker who's ba-humbuging around.

This book is the classic (accept no substitutes)! This is the perfect gift for fans of Christmas.
