Book Review - 'How The Grinch Stole Christmas' by Dr. Seuss

2022 EDIT: Remains a Christmas classic. Goodness, Cindy Lou Who is so cute!

Final Score: 4/5





Original Review:



"His heart grew three sizes that day!"


A favourite Christmas story - 'How The Grinch Stole Christmas' is a classic, possibly my favourite Dr. Seuss book next to 'The Lorax'.

A childlike, mischievous 'A Christmas Carol', that's what 'How The Grinch Stole Christmas' is. There's so much creativity and spirit to it (could have been more colourful, though), and some of the best rhyming verses I've ever read. Adorableness - like with the tiny Cindy Lou Who - plays right alongside the cynicism and meanness; which are played for comedy, to be proven as misguided in the end.


Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before! What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. What if Christmas...perhaps...means a little bit more!


An important message for all the family.

Final Score: 4/5
