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

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch. But are you rotten enough to ruin Whoville's Christmas Whobilation this year, even after Cindy Lou Who nominates you to be the Cheermeister of the event? Based on Dr. Seuss's wacky and wonderful classic picture book, How the Grinch Stole Christmas and the motion picture screenplay of the same name, this novelization elaborates on the story of a holiday gone awry. Little Cindy Lou Who, her cheerfully dopey dad, Lou Lou Who, her semi-delinquent teenage brothers Stu and Drew Lou Who, the Martha Stewartesque Martha May Whovier, and the nastiest, most cynical, evil-hearted Grinch around star in this Christmas comedy. Seventeen color photos from the film are included. (Ages 8 to 12) --Emilie Coulter --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

From the Inside Flap

gest-size novelization of the hip, live-action hit movie of the Dr. Seuss classic How the Grinch Stole Christmas!, starring the one and only Jim Carrey as the Grinch. The movie script goes beyond the events of the stolen Christmas, all the way back to the beginning in Who-ville--where the Grinch grew up--and explains how and why he came to hate Christmas so much that, finally, one year, he had to stop it from coming. Told in the first-person voice of the Grinch himself, this is rib-ticklingly funny, irreverent, and ultimately touching. This is the movie--and the movie tie-in--of the holiday season. An eight-page full-color photo insert is included. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Review

"My son is partial to this brand-new edition, but he cannot have it, it is all Mama's. It contains everything a Grinch addict like myself could possibly want, including info on his international appeal..., details about the route Dr. Seuss (aka Theodor Geisel) took in creating the Grinch (he wanted to combine Santa, his reindeer, the Stork, the Sandman and the Boogeyman -- why mess around with so many characters when one would do?), and background on how Chuck Jones storyboarded the book. The old drawings are spectacular." --WackyMommy.org, 11/09/2007 --This text refers to an alternate kindle_edition edition.

A classic but keep away from little ones

Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2020

Verified Purchase

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.

Classic! Best way to introduce the Grinch to small children.

Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2019

My 4 year old niece didn't want to go to the live play of "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" because she was scared of the Grinch. When I heard this I knew what the problem was. Children can't sit there for over an hour before the Grinch turns nice. So I will read her the book first. It will take just a few minutes for the Grinch's heart to grow three sizes (oops, spoiler alert!). Then she can watch the 30 minute animated special. Then she can see the play. I suppose she can watch the Jim Carrey movie as well.

Book wasn't the size I expected

Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2019

Verified Purchase

While this was the book title I wanted, the size of the book isn't what I expected. The size of the book I ordered is UNDER the Green Eggs book, and as you can see, it is NOT the same size as the book on top, which I bought at the book store. I had no idea that there would be a different size in the book. I'd only seen these books the size of the Green Eggs book. While I can make this work, I am not happy about it. Too much trouble to return it now.

Great Hardcover Children's Book

Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2019

Beautiful hardbound book. Would make a great collection to any children's library. I'm using it for reference for a church musical. I've forgotten how the movie had changed the story a lot, so will be sticking to the original as much as possible. Also, the illustrations are so colorful and inspiring for set designs & costumes.

Its The Grinch, what more is there to say?

Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2016

I've always loved "The Grinch" growing up, so I had to get this for my kiddos this Christmas. I haven't given it to them yet, and I won't be til the night before christmas as their "night before christmas box", but I flipped through the pages already. The book has that nice crisp new book feel where it's almost hard to turn the pages because of how tight the binding is, but I love that. It arrived clean and no scratches or anything on the cover which is always nice!

A classic book for the Holidays!

Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2018

The book is bigger than I thought it would be and the cover is a red shiny metallic color.

I bought this as a Christmas gift for my boss. He told us he was a grinch, and we also decorated our office as whoville. Because everything was Grinch themed, I figured his gift should be too. It was also a gift he could share with his children.

Love the Grinch books

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 30, 2020

Verified Purchase

My poor daughter caught covid 19 days before Christmas so we wanted something to cheer her up. She had to isolate along with 12 of her college friends so she kept saying she was the grinch.
As this book is called how the grinch stole Christmas we bought her it, wrote a little cheer her up passage in the front and everyone signed it.
She has always loved the grinch films so she loved this book anyway.
The cover is glossy and the book is a nice shortish bedtime read. If you love the grinch films you'll love the books too.
It's an excellent price and a book that she'll keep forever now. A book to remember how she might have stolen christmas for a few but she didn't spread anything to the many either.

It's great

Love it love it love it! I had never read the Grinch, only seen the film. But I absolutely love this book. I've read it to my baby three times now in a week because I just love it so much! The story is fun and pleasant to read, the rhyming flows really well. The pictures are very effective too, they are black sketches but coloured in with red so they stand out well to young babies. My four month old is very engaged with it.

Don't be a Grinch when you find out it's a pocket version!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 24, 2018

Verified Purchase

The Grinch has always been a firm family favourite and this version has found its way into our lives. It is important to note that this is a pocket sized version of the book but it's by no means miniature and the text is not unreasonably small. The book is hardback with a dust jacket and is just the right size for younger children.

Disappointing inaide cover

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 25, 2018

Verified Purchase

I was really disappointed with this book. My granddaughter was so excited when she saw the book as she had recently seen the film. The cover is lovely and bright. The inside however is dull with black and white pictures with only a splash of red. Very dull. I don"t get it! Its aimed at young chikdren and needs to hold their attention. The story in itself is quite good but she got bored of looking at it half way through. Usually she has me reading about 5 books in one go.

Christmas Classic Masterpiece

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 20, 2020

I love Dr Suess and i am pleased that both of my kids are starting to as well. This is an absolute classic for christmas, and manages to get across ideas about what is really important about the holidays in a brief and concise manner, whilst being funny, visually exciting, and easily understandable.
This book will come out every year in our house (and not just at christmas) because essentially it is timeless
