How the Grinch Stole Christmas - Dr Seuss

Dr Seuss books are full of strange and wonderful creatures, drawn in his inimitable style and named thus. Cat in the Hat, Fox in Socks and Yertle the Turtle are all up there in the front or back benches of the children's Hall of Fame and Grinch is another of the Seussian amazing beasts worth knowing. I have to say I was rather reluctant at the first sight of the book: I had a vague memory of a long, boring and a rather terrible movie I was made to half-watch on the television during one family visit. But I needn't have worried: How the Grinch Stole Christmas! is a great book and if your child doesn't yet know it, this 50th birthday edition would make a great ...  Read the complete review

Well with the festive season approaching us I though I would write a review on Dr Seuss's classic book "How the Grinch stole Christmas", I think this is probably one of his most well known books mainly due to it being adapted into cartoons and films but also because it's a brilliant book and has been loved by many children for many years, especially around the Christmas period I know my parents would read it to myself and my sister and brothers, but we all read it to our children, has turned into a kind of tradition.

Dr Seuss is one those author's you either love or you hate. If you like the others you'll like this one. It follows the same format of nice little rhyming verses to make it easy to read with kids, and as always the story has the happy ending and moral message that you expect from the doctor. The Grinch is a green thing with very large ears - something like a cross between Mr Spock and a cucumber. He's kind of sad and lonely and this makes him hate seeing the others having fun, especially at christmas when they're all being jolly and singing and he isn't.

Xmas is fast approaching, and as such it's time to think about what gifts to buy for your loved ones. If you're looking for a good idea for a book for kids, then this is a very good option. Dr Seuss books are well known for being a bit whacky, a bit strange and different, and How The Grinch Stole Christmas is no different. The book has been made into a film starring Jim Carrey as The Grinch, and is worth a look - it's highly amusing. The book itself is very well written and animated, featuring a number of imaginatively created creatures and some clever rhyming as well. The story tells of a grinch who can't stand Xmas. He decides to dress up as Santa and steal ...  Read the complete review
