The Grinch tries to stop Christmas from arriving by stealing all the presents and food from the village, but much to his surprise it comes anyway.

No holiday book collection is complete without the classic, How the Grinch Stole Christmas! This story of Whoville and its Grinch with a heart two sizes too small has been entertaining children since 1957. The illustrations are typical Suess-style sketches, primarily in black and white with just two shades of orange sprinkled in for emphasis, leaving plenty of room for young imaginations to take over. The unique Seussical rhyming patterns and repetition in words are the focus of the book and ideal for getting children interested and involved in reading. They will soon learn the repetition and be able to pipe in and ‘read along.'

The Grinch teaches the important message that Christmas isn’t about presents and decorations; it’s about being together with family and other loved ones. This is a great lesson to teach your children at a young age.  It’s also just a fun story to read, with plenty of opportunities for silly voices and theatrics, helpfully suggested by Dr. Seuss’ many italicized words and words in all caps.
