How the Grinch Stole Christmas



A real Christmas classic!  The story of how the Grinch with his heart two sizes too small decided to stop Christmas from coming has been loved since it was first published in 1957.

The Whos in Who-ville are all getting ready to celebrate Christmas, and their preparations are all very noisy, the Grinch hates the noise and decides to stop it, once and for all.  The story whizzes along as the Grinch makes his plans and steals all the presents, and decorations and all the food for the feast. Only to find that Christmas comes anyway, despite all his efforts.

The rhyming text is great fun to read aloud, and I love the expression on the Grinch's face when he has his brilliant idea.


Have a look at the Dr Seuss website for more Grinch-ly fun http://www.seussville.com/grinch/
