My Review
This story is a Christmas Classic. The Grinch with sinister eyes stole presents from the Whos of Who-ville." Why? "It could be his head wasn't screwed on right."
This creatively written book teaches many valuable lessons. A look at how stealing affects others. You can do with less and be happy if you have a support system. "What if Christmas... perhaps... means a little bit more...?"
Dr. Suess expressive words are memorable. "Your brain is full of spiders, you have garlic in your soul." Yes, the Grinch was much less frightening when his heart grew three sizes. Up until then, he was downright scary!
My Thoughts
The coming together of family and community at Christmas time is one of my favorite Christmas illustrations and Walter Matthau's audible version is outstanding.
Author Dr. Seuss
Of Note: I’m still trying to pull off my Goodreads reviews and place them with the others here on my book blog. So it just made sense to include this Christmas book review here - even though it is more than 6 months out from the actual Holiday.
