This is one of my favorite Dr. Seuss books. I love it so much. It makes me laugh every time. I find the pictures of the Grinch hilarious. I love the rhymes in the book. This is Dr. Seuss at his absolute best.
Love this book and it’s always a christmas tradition to read it during the holidays.
Growing older, I always wanted to have a Dr Seuss book of my own. Even though I know a lot of people who hate The Grinch movies, I simply love it. And the illustrations in this edition are just gorgeous. It's a lovely short read for the Christmas season, and will definitely always be one of my favourite Dr Seuss' books.

Estuvo muy divertido de leer, creo que se lo haré leer a mi hermanito.
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—upon his 53rd season of the Who Standard calendar cycle—engaged in a great act of mass larceny, is not unlike St. Godric of Finchale as is put down in the book of [b:Godric|76802|Godric|Frederick Buechner|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1511047638l/76802._SY75_.jpg|74283]) by [a:Frederick Buechner|19982|Frederick Buechner|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1274727466p2/19982.jpg]. Yet upon the dawning of the Christmas Day, with his faithful beast Max in tow, his heart grew not just one size, NAY dear reader! not even two, but THREE, THREE sizes that Christmas morn! An expression of the trinity perhaps, a great christmas miracle and so we, too, grew with that great heart! I move to petition for immediate canonization of Sainthood for Ethan Grinch of Whoville, a beast not unlike ourselves who demonstrates the power of a change of heart and a return to tenderness.
Okay but all jokes aside, are the Who’s celebrating the birth of Human Jesus or is there a Who nativity story? Or perhaps this is some Who Saturnalia?
I love this book. It is one I have read or seen so many times I can recite it from memory, which I have done so on several occasions. Those who remember my time as Barnes and Noble storytime leader can attest. There are slight differences between the book and animated film (red vs black thread, and the book doesn’t contain whimsical Who-world presents) though I’ve found that the changes in the animated actually read much smoother and I see why the alterations were made (the “it was merry! VERY!” part reads very clunkily in the book). A holiday classic for sure.
