GRINCHED! submitted by princesslydia on July 23, 2011, 3:18pm I always love the song, "You're a Mean One, Mr Grinch."

Classic submitted by kittenkat101 on June 18, 2012, 3:31pm This is a classic tale about Christmas and the holiday spirit. It's told in the usual Seuss style. It's great!

Wonderful submitted by emjane on July 22, 2012, 6:22pm Dr. Seuss’s How the Grinch Stole Christmas is the best read-aloud holiday book around! Just try saying, “And he stuffed them in bags. Then the Grinch, very nimbly, Stuffed all the bags, one by one, up the chimbley” without smiling. And who can resist the Grinch’s heart growing 3-sizes or the message that you don’t need presents to be happy on Christmas? I can’t! Top it off with a viewing of the TV special with Boris Karloff’s narration and Thurl Ravenscroft’s “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch,” and it can’t be beat.

Christmas Classic submitted by kathscot on August 6, 2012, 11:58am A wonderful book to share each year - it's not the presents or decorations that make Christmas - it's what's in your hearts.

The Grinch! submitted by candyceh811 on July 26, 2015, 9:21pm Dr. Seuss stories are always so much fun and this Christmas story is especially nice with a meaningful lesson.

How The Grinch Stole Christmas submitted by SBNB on July 15, 2016, 2:33pm Who doesn't like the Grinch book? It's classic Christmas.

Another family favorite submitted by majean on August 8, 2018, 7:21pm I loved reading this at Christmas time - and watching the animated movie!

Grinch submitted by tbbrown76 on July 18, 2019, 1:51pm Even his made up words have made it into our lexicon. Excellent book. Great art. Happy ending. Recommended.

Sweet submitted by Aimless on July 24, 2019, 6:20pm A fun holiday story with a lesson

A favorite! submitted by crp on August 5, 2019, 7:57am Classic, a favorite. Especially relevant during the holidays.

Maybe you don't need presents to be happy, but he returns the presents. submitted by lisa on August 5, 2019, 5:28pm The reward for not wanting presents is presents? That's a little like Beauty & the Beast.

A seasonal must submitted by JennJenn on August 3, 2020, 11:58am This story is a fun one showing a change of heart and how you can impact others.

The Grinch submitted by sonya r. on August 17, 2020, 8:49pm I love reading the book and watching the movie with my family. Most of my friends own this book and love it.

good submitted by .-.-.-. on July 6, 2021, 10:12am An absolute classic. It is still good, but I recommend the movie, as the book is a little slow. Still, 5/5 stars.

How the Grinch Stole Christmas submitted by maywang on July 9, 2021, 2:42pm Dr. Suess. One of his most famous and arguably best works. A classic.

Classic Seuss submitted by alemmon100 on August 6, 2021, 11:05am A must-read during Christmas time. My two-year-old read the story and watched the original cartoon so many times that on Christmas Eve he actually expected the Grinch to come after Santa!

Magic through and through submitted by suttonp on July 25, 2022, 1:07pm This is a classic for Christmas because of the timeless story and outstanding illustrations. It never gets old

My Heart Grew Three Sizes submitted by alexaeaster on July 27, 2022, 4:25pm The moral of the story is more important than ever in the commercialized fog of the holiday season.

An all time classic submitted by jrpolaczyk on June 14, 2023, 12:45am Perfect for December or any day leading up to Christmas.
