This is a cute and colorful Christmas story and my son loves all of the rhyming. Great for Dr. Seuss fans!

I really like that in this book it kind of gives you a look inside of The Who’s homes which I feel like is a rare thing unless you watch some of the movies then you can catch a glimpse of their home lives. I also never put together the fact that in different versions of how the grinch stole Christmas Cindy-Lou is different ages and she isn’t just one age throughout all of them. I know in the first animated movie she is a like a toddler or a younger child but I never thought that in the other movies she’s older. Overall this book would be great to read to children around Christmas for a quick fun bedtime story.

Short, sweet, and simple board book introduces tots to this character from How the Grinch Stole Christmas. True, it lacks the magic and rhyme scheme of a Dr. Seuss classic. However, I can say that I am happy that I Am Cindy-Lou Who used hand-drawn illustrations like the original book and cartoon, rather than creating a CGI "update" to tie in with the recent movie.

This book follows Cindy-Lou through her Christmas traditions in Who-ville. These traditions include hanging stockings by the fireplace and singing, to name a few. The book had adorable illustrations.

Cute Christmas book for your little ones. My only issue is that it doesn’t have the same feel as the original Dr Seuss’s books, but my twins loved it all the same.

I had high hopes bc this is such a cute concept. My little one loves “Cindy Woo-Hoo.” But this really didn’t deliver all the magic of Cindy, Who-ville, or the Grinch. Bummer.

Such a good introduction to the tale of our beloved Grinch Who Stole Christmas, but for littles who might be scared by the grinchiness of the actual green fella.

Nice imagining of how she would describe her world but not as good as the source.

It's only September, but when your 3-year-old niece wants to read books, you read books, no matter the season. A very cute story.
