What this book is about

The Grinch, a cave-dwelling creature who hates all the noise and festivity of Christmas, hatches a plan to steal everything from Whoville while the Whos sleep. But when they celebrate anyway and he hears their joyful singing from his mountaintop, his small heart grows three sizes. Seuss's beloved holiday classic is a perfect little story about the difference between giving and getting, and the transformative power of community and love.
