About This Book

The Grinch, a grouchy creature who lives atop Mount Crumpit, despises Christmas and hatches a scheme to steal the holiday from the cheerful residents of Who-ville. After making off with their decorations, food, and gifts, he's stunned to discover that the Whos celebrate joyfully all the same, leading to a famous change of heart. Dr. Seuss's classic rhyming text and whimsical illustrations have made this one of the most beloved holiday stories ever written.

Why We Love This

The rhyming text is a joy to read aloud, and watching the Grinch's heart grow three sizes never fails to warm the whole family - a holiday tradition we return to every single year.
