Dr.
Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas was originally written in 1957
and has since become a Christmas classic for kids and adults of all
ages. The book is a children's book and is relatively short with
pictures on each page. The illustrations themselves are done in black,
white, and red and appear to be drawn with pencil or ink. They aren't
overly detailed or brightly colored, but they are interesting to look at
because the characters of the Grinch and the Whos, as well as their
village are so fantastically different from anything in the real world.
The
story itself is written in prose, with several poem qualities. The
rhyme scheme used definitely appeals to the reader (or listener) as the
endings of each line couplet rhyme to give it a sing-song rhythm.
Smaller children who are listening to the story being read to them will
like this rhyming and it will keep their attention. Another interesting
thing to note about the writing is the use of completely nonsensical and
made up words. Dr. Seuss is a master of this kind of language and is
famous for using it in his books. The words he invented for the story
are unusual and are sure to stick in the minds of the readers. The plot
is a fun one, but also has a great moral to it as well. The story is
teaching children that the true meaning of Christmas doesn't come from
gifts or things that are bought, but from love and being together. The new set has added a Good Deed Journal, which is a perfect fit for the message of the story and will help children learn all about what good deeds are and how to perform them. The kids (or parents) can keep track of the good deeds being done in the journal - this is great to show the progress being made over a set time period - or several other activities that one can come up with. Add in the soft and adorable Grinch plush toy - and you have the perfect gift for kids of all ages (including those readers who are young at heart) and/or fans of the Grinch and his timeless tale.
Overall, this is a Christmas classic that readers of all ages will
enjoy. It's a true classic that never gets old and one that will be
appreciated for years to come.
