Even though he died in 1991, Theodor Seuss Geisel is still the bestselling author of children's books in the world. He's also author one of the best Christmas books ever written. How the Grinch Stole Christmas! has been translated into dozens of languages, animated for television, and made into a big screen motion picture. The commercial success (and bastardization) of Seuss's Scrooge-like villain-turned-hero is almost enough to make one feel...well, grinchy. "The Grinch hated Christmas. The whole Christmas season. Now, please don't ask why. No one quite knows the reason," says Seuss; even readers who can immediately identify with the Grinch's initial ill will are eventually won over by Seuss's sweet-spirited Whos and their meaningful message. The only thing the book lacks is Boris Karloff's expert narration; even without him, though, How the Grinch Stole Christmas is a timeless classic, well worth the out-loud reading it demands.

About the Author
Dr. Seuss was born Theodor Geisel in Springfield, Massachusetts on March 2, 1904. After attending Dartmouth College and Oxford University, he began a career in advertising. His advertising cartoons, featuring Quick, Henry, the Flit!, appeared in several leading American magazines. Dr. Seuss's first children's book, And To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street, hit the market in 1937, and the world of children's literature was changed forever! In 1957, Seuss's The Cat in the Hat became the prototype for one of Random House's best- selling series, Beginner Books. This popular series combined engaging stories with outrageous illustrations and playful sounds to teach basic reading skills. Brilliant, playful, and always respectful of children, Dr. Seuss charmed his way into the consciousness of four generations of youngsters and parents. In the process, he helped kids learn to read.
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1984 and three Academy Awards, Seuss was the author and illustrator of 44 children's books, some of which have been made into audiocassettes, animated television specials, and videos for children of all ages. Even after his death in 1991, Dr. Seuss continues to be the best-selling author of children's books in the world.

This is a classic must read by, in my opinion, the greatest children's book writer. Not only does this word twisting story give a tale of hope and love during Christmas, but Seuss creates a simple tale that can never be read too many times. This fun to read book must be read by everyone looking for a deliciously refreshing tale to be enjoyed anytime and anywhere.
