About this title

Synopsis:

This miniature hardback edition of Dr. Seuss’s delightful festive tale makes a perfect stocking-filler or gift at Christmas.

With a heart two sizes too small, the disgruntled Grinch is the meanest creature you’ll ever meet. But when he hatches a dastardly plot to steal Christmas from the citizens of Who-ville, he’s in for a big surprise!

Now a blockbuster movie by Universal Pictures, starring the irrepressible Jim Carrey (of The Mask and The Trueman Story fame), directed by Ron Howard (Apollo 13 and Happy Days), and scripted by the writers of Who Framed Roger Rabbit. The video is also available.

Review:

The Grinch hated Christmas! The whole Christmas season!

Now, please don't ask why. No one quite knows the reason.

It could be his head wasn't screwed on just right.

It could be, perhaps, that his shoes were too tight

The ghastly Grinch refuses to be moved by the Christmas spirit in this lovely hardback version of Dr Seuss's classic tale.

When he spies the citizens of Who-ville enjoying their Christmas preparations, the Grinch comes down from his cave and makes a dastardly attempt to take all the joy out of the occasion by actually stealing Christmas.

With zany rhymes and distinctive black and red illustrations, this classic seasonal story has become a favourite for good reason. In the end, the story of the ghastly Grinch has something to teach us all about the true meaning of Christmas. --Rachel Ediss
