I am happy to say this is as great as the cultural zeitgeist has made it out to be. It was awesome to read it for the first time after a lifetime of Christmas experiences with the animated movie. The illustrations and the rhyming writing…

This so called "book" should be banned. The people in Whoville consume Who "Hash'!? Don't be fooled into thinking that it's actually food out of a can. Obviously this is a tome promoting drug use. Doesn't matter that Hash is legal. It's…

This book is a classic, and it's for good reason. While The Grinch is cold-hearted at first, he is reforming himself at the end. At that point, those who forgive, a reminder of what we're all supposed to do when others reform. Dr. Seuss…

Read the book, watch the (classic) movie and rejoice. Repeat once a year at Christmas time.

(*FYI*) - (As the story goes) - (author) Theodor Geisel (aka. "Dr. Seuss" - 1904-1991) initially wrote this book of rhyme and illustrations as his criticism of the commercialization of Christmas.

Though I'm more a fan of the additions and sing-song added to the old animated story of the Grinch, you simply cannot go wrong with this book. From young to old, the Grinch is just one of those stories that cannot be overlooked during the…

(NOTE: I've certainly read the book before, but my review below is also based off of my recent listen to the AUDIBLE version of the story.) The Grinch, the old grump that lives on the mountaintop outside of Whoville, hates Christmas. …

Oh-oh!..... (To be sure) - Those naive and trusting Whos down in Whoville are, once again, in for some real big-big trouble this year. 'Cause (while those unsuspecting Whos are all merrily off in Dreamland) that mean, old Mister Grinch…

Character not really mean one if he didn't use weapons of mass destruction. That's the biggest plot hole in children's book. However, he didn't have the technical expertise & money for nuclear option. Biological & chemical weapon…

(*Story excerpt*) - Every Who down in Whoville liked Christmas a lot, but the Grinch, who lived just north of Whoville - did not. The Grinch hated Christmas - the whole Christmas season. Now, please don't ask why; no one quite knows…

A classic. A story about how it's good to celebrate, whether or not you have lots of stuff to celebrate with.

A Christmas classic with a wonderful rolling meter and clever rhymes. Up there with Cat in the Hat and Green Eggs and Ham in the "fun to read" department. The message that Christmas is about love not presents is a great one for…

Christmas is a dreaded holiday for many. People claim that it has become commercialized, that people should act year round the way they do on Christmas, and that Christmas comes too early ever year, despite having a set date. When did…

This is a great book to read the kids before bed! Naturally, this classic has stood the test of time, and the message is still meaningful today. The rhyme is fun and enjoyable and the characters cherished. This is a great Christmas read!

I'm honestly not sure I've ever read this book before today! I've seen the cartoon movie and avoided the Jim Carey version like the plague, but this may have been my first interaction with the actual book. It's so cute! Definitely one I…

I love this book and have since I was a child. Classic story with a good moral to teach children, as well as adults. Dr. Seuss is one of the best authors of all time.
