Reading this as the first time as an adult and adored it. Beautifully written and illustrated. And full of Christmas spirit
I read this one to my niece and nephew over the holiday. It had been years since I read the book, so my memories of the Grinch are all from the movie. But the book is totally awesome, too! My only complaint: not enough Max!
In the town of Whoville, the Grinch, a grumpy creature living in a cave, despises the joyful holiday celebrations of the Whos. Tired of the noise and merriment, he concocts a plan to put an end to their happiness once and for all. Disguised as Santa Claus, the Grinch steals the Whos' presents, food, and even their festive logs.
With a heavy heart, the Grinch takes his loot to Mt. Crumpit, anticipating the sorrowful cries of the Whos when they wake up to find their Christmas treasures gone. However, to his surprise, instead of tears, he hears singing. The Whos display unwavering cheerfulness despite their loss, proving that joy and the holiday spirit cannot be stolen.
Dr. Seuss weaves a triumphant and twisted tale that captures both the adoration and fear of children. It highlights the resilience and unwavering cheerfulness of the Whos, emphasizing the power of joy and the potential for a small heart to grow.
This timeless holiday classic is perfect for reading aloud to your favorite little ones, immersing them in the whimsical world of the Grinch and the undying spirit of the Whos.

I read the "50th Anniversary Retrospective" edition, which has 30+ pages of commentary and images. Even as a longtime fan, I found the commentary very informative and entertaining, with plenty of nuggets of trivia and insights into Seuss' work. Highly recommended!
One of my all-time favourite Christmas books. In our home, roast beef is always referred to as 'roast beast' ... lol
5 Stars = I love it for sentimental reasons.

Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before. "Maybe Christmas," he thought, "doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more."
This was one of the first books I was read to as a baby. It's a tradition to read this book on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. I've donated my copy to a charity but I still read this book every year.
Επιτέλους κυκλοφόρησε κ στα ελληνικά και το διαβάσαμε με το μικρό μου Χομπιτ. Και φυσικά του άρεσε πολύ.
