A Grinchy Good Classic for Christmas Cheer
This book is a joy, a delight, and a treat, A Christmas-time classic that’s hard to beat. The Grinch starts off grumpy, all frowns and all sneer, But somehow he brings the best festive cheer. My children love the pictures, the rhythm, the fun, The silly old Grinch and the Whos, every one. It’s short enough nicely for bedtime at night, But packed full of charm, with a message just right. It teaches that Christmas is more than the stuff, More than the presents, the ribbons and fluff. It’s kindness, togetherness, heart, and good cheer, Which is handy to hear at that time of year. Would I recommend it? Oh yes, without doubt, It’s the sort of book Christmas should not be without. Five stars for the story, the laughs, and the glow, And for proving small hearts can grow, grow, grow! It was also delivered quickly, arrived in good quality condition, and is genuinely fun to read to my children at Christmas. It has become one of those festive books that feels right at home beside the tree, preferably with hot chocolate nearby and at least one child asking why the Grinch is so grumpy before I have had coffee. Five stars for delivery, quality, Christmas charm, and being a proper family festive favourite.

This book is absolutely brilliant and a must-have for every family bookshelf. The rhyming text is a joy to read aloud, and the iconic illustrations are packed with character and charm. It delivers a beautiful, heartwarming message about the true meaning of the holidays that resonates with both kids and adults. The book is well-made, durable, and will undoubtedly be a favorite for generations to come. Highly recommended!

A simple story with a profound message.
I read the 60th Anniversary Edition! We’ve perhaps all seen the film, thought it was about time I read the book. In the process I found out How Dr. Seuss makes reading fun. Clearly a celebrated seasonal anti-hero. As beloved as Scrooge and championed as one to counter the joy and spirit of Christmas. But to steal Christmas! How low can you go? A wonderful classic picture book with line drawn illustrations and a rhyming text that builds the tension of the story. What parent wouldn’t struggle to ensure their child uttered those words “Santa’s been!” To steal all that; is there a worse crime? The delight of the book is the contrast. The tension that builds as this terrible crime is played out. The joy of the book is that Christmas is saved as its deeper meaning is understood. A simple story with a profound message.

Amazing! That season when a book is more important than the phone / tablet
This is indeed the best Christmas Season story for kids and parents alike. Buy this and maybe watch the movie (the 'real one' like my bundle of mischievousness says) with Jim Carrey and you will have an Every Day is a Grinch Story / Film day during the Festive Season and beyond! The book is mostly black and white with dashes of tonal colours here an there, enough to capture the imagination. Sometimes, it works as a sleep time story sometimes, your kid may jump on the bed of excitement. This is the best storybook for children from age 3 to 101 :) Compared to other kids stories, it is a bit lengthy and in the typical Zeuss fashion, filled with rhimes and tongue twisters, but I find that really good for kids as they really get excited not only by the storyline or photos but also by words and most importantly - new words for them. Be ready to answer many questions, you will love it!

Gegen den Konsum!
Dem weihnachtshassenden Grinch gehört mein Herz, seit er in den 80ern erstmals als Trickversion über den Bildschirm flimmerte. Und nein, ich meine nicht die furchtbar aufgemotzte Verfilmung mit Jim Carrey, sondern den etwa 20minütigen Zeichentrickfilm von 1966, der fast 1:1 auf dem Buch von Dr. Seuss basiert, das in Amerika zu den Klassikern der Kinderweihnachtsliteratur zählt. In Deutschland fand die Geschichte allerdings nie massenhaft den Weg in die Kinderzimmer. Vielleicht hat die frech-satirische Geschichte einfach nie ganz den europäischen Geschmack getroffen. Vielleicht ist die Figur des Grinch für jüngere Kinder auch zu böse und undurchsichtig, oder es liegt schlicht daran, dass das Buch immer nur zeitweise in der deutschen Übersetzung zu kaufen war. Für mich ist und bleibt es jedoch eines der besten Weihnachtsbücher überhaupt. Zwar wird die Geschichte "nur" in kurzen Reimen erzählt, aber die sind verschmitzt-originell und machen - richtig betont - extrem viel Spaß. Spannend ist das alles natürlich schon deshalb, weil Kinder mit den ahnungslosen Hus leiden und absolut empört sind über den fiesen Grinch. Dieser ist ein herrlich blödes, aber sehr gerissenes grünes Fantasiewesen, das voller Missgunst die niedlichen, kleinen Hus beobachtet, die unten im Tal leben und sich auf Weihnachten freuen. Er sitzt allein in seiner kalten Höhle und schmiedet Pläne, wie er den Hus ihr Fest vermasseln kann und beschließt, in der Nacht vor Weihnachten alle Geschenke zu klauen. So schleicht er von Haus zu Haus, sackt alle Gaben ein und lässt weder Deko noch Festessen zurück. Dr. Seuss alias Theodor Geisel hat einen unverwechselbaren Zeichenstil, der mit seinen optischen Schräglagen und Schnörkeln an Burtonsche Kulissen denken lässt und dem hin und wieder kleine, liebevolle Details innewohnen, die seine Bücher zu visuellen Entdeckungstouren machen. Eine dosierte Farbwahl aus schwarz, weiß und rot zieht sich schraffurhaft durch die Seiten und ist doch eindeutig der Tradition des Comics verschrieben. Mit jüngeren Kindern muss die Botschaft sicher diskutiert werden. Aber natürlich ist der "Grinch" ein kräftiger Tritt gegen das Bein des Konsumirrsinns, auch wenn er brav und weihnachtsfreundlich endet. Der Bösewicht muss letztendlich einsehen, dass die Hus Weihnachten feiern - komme, was da wolle - und beginnt zu überlegen, ob hinter der Idee des Festes vielleicht mehr steckt, als er dachte. Im Englischen klingt das dann so: "Maybe Christmas does not come from the store. Maybe - maybe, Christmas means a little more." Fazit: Die Moral dieser Reimgeschichte ist in all den Jahren nie unaktuell geworden, eher im Gegenteil. So aberwitzig und humorvoll hat man sie aber selten gelesen. Mein allerliebstes Weihnachtsbuch und hoffentlich auch in der deutschen Übersetzung bald wieder auf dem Markt!
