The story is heartwarming, beautifully illustrated, and filled with timeless lessons about kindness, generosity, and the true meaning of the festive season. Dr. Seuss’s rhyming prose is delightful and engaging, making it a joy to read aloud with family and friends. The transformation of the Grinch from a grumpy, Christmas-hating recluse to a joyful, heart-filled character is a poignant reminder that love and community can bring out the best in everyone.

Heart warming , funny and engaging
My little boy discovered the film at Christmas this year which he loved so I bought the book. The book was equally popular. It’s a lovely story with a good message about what’s important at Christmas. Easy to read and engaging for my 4 year old. Well illustrated.

Kids love it.
Great book. Differs from the film a bit, at the end Cindy-Loo wasn’t ontop the gifts at all, the Grinch just had a change of heart when he hears the Who’s singing. But apart from that, it’s very good and the kids love it.

Black and white and red book
I got this book for my toddler who loves Grinch as part of his Xmas gifts.He likes the fact that Grinch is green but unfortunately the only green Grinch on this book is the one on the cover. The rest of the book is black and white and red. That’s why I took away one star. ⭐I ended up colouring every single Grinch in the book to green also coloured Grinch’s dog, to prevent disappointment.The story is long and as I said the book isn’t colourful for younger age audiences.However if you have a book worm like my toddler then it’s a lovely classic story. We have “Sam I Am” book also. He likes Dr. Seuss books.I recommend for older kids unless you have a 2-3 year old book enthusiast

I always go for especial editions. And rarely get disapointed. This one is great . Such a classic. I was esceptical if my 3 year old would like it since the drawings are not very colorful and stuff but never understimate a kid and a classic. The cover bow ix stiff and nice. Super recommended.

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!
