Staff Recommendation
How the Grinch Stole Christmas by Dr. Seuss
“Oh, the nerve of Dr. Seuss to publish such a scandalous tale about me! "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" is an abomination to my reputation. This so-called "story" depicts me as a heartless monster stealing Christmas from those infernal Whos. The truth? This book is an excellent depiction of a genius who managed to outwit an entire town. The part where my heart grows? Total fabrication! Seuss portrays my cunning and strategy in a way that only scratches the surface of my brilliance. And that singing at the end? Please. Not even remotely close. So, if you want a book full of deception, this is it. But if you're looking for the true brilliance of The Grinch... well, you'll need to dig deeper than Seuss's whimsical rhymes!”
-The Grinch, not library staff but we'll allow it for the holidays.
