How the Grinch Stole Christmas A book by Dr. Seuss

This is Whoville. Whoville is a happy town.

These are the Whos. The Whos live in Whoville. They are happy people.

Tomorrow is Christmas. The Whos love Christmas! They love Christmas trees and presents. They love candy canes, Christmas cards, cookies, and stockings too!

This is the Grinch. The Grinch is not a happy Who. His heart is too small! He hates Whoville, other Whos, and most of all, He HATES Christmas!!!

This year the Grinch has a terrible idea – he wants to STOP Christmas from coming! No candy, no presents, no cookies no trees or stockings. No Christmas!

But what will he do? How can the Grinch stop Christmas from coming? Then, the mean old Grinch got a clever idea. He’ll dress up like Santa, sneak into Whoville and steal Christmas from the Whos.

So he sneaks into Whoville, while they’re all sound asleep, dreaming of Christmas and presents and treats.

He steals their presents, their toys, their stockings and wreaths! He steals their cookies, their turkey and even their trees!

He puts it all in a bag and onto his sleigh. The Grinch left the Who’s with nothing for Christmas Day.

He waits for the morning, to hear crying and shouts. To see sad Who faces; Christmas will be cancelled, no doubt.

But the Grinch hears no crying, sees no sad faces, no tears. He hears laughter and music. Whoville is filled with cheers.

The Whos are still happy without stockings and candy and cookies and wreaths. They’re happy without turkey and presents and even their trees!

This makes the Grinch change. He feels sorry for taking Christmas.

He learned that Christmas wasn’t about toys, or presents or decorations. Christmas was about being with family and friends, and being kind and to one another. Suddenly, the Grinch’s heart grew 3 sizes that day!

He speeds down the mountain with all of their things, to give the Who’s their presents. He even joins them and sings!

The Grinch becomes the Whos’ friend, and joins in the feast. Merry Christmas to all! Says the Grinch, as he cuts the roast beast.
