I haven’t read this book since I was a kid and while I’m very familiar with the story I wanted to re-read it through the eyes of an adult and there’s a reason this book is a classic and has stood the test of time.
It’s simple in it’s message that Christmas isn’t just a physical gift from a store and how the Grinch has to learn that for him to understand and have compassion for other people is a great lesson for children. They’ll also enjoy the whimsical rhymes.
The art work throughout the book is as iconic as the story itself. The drawings in this book has been translated to animation , live action, and countless live stage adaptations and it’s because of how identifiable the art is.
