false 113946 30 "The Grinch <I>hated</I> Christmas! The whole Christmas season! / Now, please don't ask why. No one quite knows the reason." Dr. Seuss's small-hearted Grinch ranks right up there with Scrooge when it comes to the crankiest, scowling holiday grumps of all time. For 53 years, the Grinch has lived in a cave on the side of a mountain, looming above the Whos in Whoville. The noisy holiday preparations and infernal singing of the happy little citizens below annoy him to no end. The Grinch decides this frivolous merriment must stop. His "wonderful, awful" idea is to don a Santa outfit, strap heavy antlers on his poor, quivering dog Max, construct a makeshift sleigh, head down to Whoville, and strip the chafingly cheerful Whos of their Yuletide glee once and for all.<p> Looking quite out of place and very disturbing in his makeshift Santa get-up, the Grinch slithers down chimneys with empty bags and stealing the Whos' presents, their food, even the logs from their humble Who-fires. He takes the ramshackle sleigh to Mt. Crumpit to dump it and waits to hear the sobs of the Whos when they wake up and discover the trappings of Christmas have disappeared. Imagine the Whos' dismay when they discover the evil-doings of Grinch in his anti-Santa guise. But what is that sound? It's not sobbing, but singing! Children simultaneously adore and fear this triumphant, twisted Seussian testimonial to the undaunted cheerfulness of the Whos, the transcendent nature of joy, and of course, the growth potential of a heart that's two sizes too small. This holiday classic is perfect for reading aloud to your favorite little Whos. <I>(Ages 4 to 8)</I> 267076 1957 How the Grinch Stole Christmas! total:15430|5:8142|4:4381|3:2391|2:406|1:110| 15430 66329 16563 307 795921 0394800796 9780394800790 1604 74 4.30 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1178433915m/795921.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/795921.How_the_Grinch_Stole_Christmas_ 5 2 false Tue May 13 20:04:11 -0700 2008 Tue May 13 20:23:25 -0700 2008 113946 0007173040 9780007173044 13414 217 4.30 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171682267m/113946.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/113946.How_the_Grinch_Stole_Christmas_ 5 1 false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1977 Fri Apr 18 06:20:34 -0700 2008 Fri Apr 18 10:25:04 -0700 2008 more...]]> 113946 0007173040 9780007173044 13414 217 4.30 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171682267m/113946.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/113946.How_the_Grinch_Stole_Christmas_ 4 0 false Mon Nov 09 11:37:19 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 09 11:37:43 -0800 2009 more...]]> 113946 0007173040 9780007173044 13414 217 4.30 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171682267m/113946.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/113946.How_the_Grinch_Stole_Christmas_ 4 0 false Sun Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sun Mar 01 07:50:53 -0800 2009 Mon Mar 30 12:45:23 -0700 2009 more...]]> 113946 0007173040 9780007173044 13414 217 4.30 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171682267m/113946.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/113946.How_the_Grinch_Stole_Christmas_ 5 0 false Fri Mar 13 12:57:57 -0700 2009 Fri Mar 13 13:07:38 -0700 2009 more...]]> 113946 0007173040 9780007173044 13414 217 4.30 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171682267m/113946.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/113946.How_the_Grinch_Stole_Christmas_ 3 0 false Thu Dec 11 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 10 19:37:17 -0800 2008 Wed Jan 14 03:32:10 -0800 2009 2000 movie version - another Jim Carey-in-a-mask movie.

So I came to this book with some sceptisim - but it is Christmas time and it was just sitting there on the library shelf!

Forget that awful Jim Carey movie. You don't need to find out what kind of childhood the Grinch had.

You don't need more than the book and the cartoon.
A true classic.
