    Every Who down in Whoville loves a good book,
    And Seuss’ Grinch is one they always will look.
    This holiday classic is sure to please,
    With its story of greed and eventual peace.

    The Grinch, with his green fur and heart so small,
    Hates Christmas and all the noise of its call.
    So he plans to steal every gift and decoration,
    And leave the Whos in a state of devastation.

    But as he creeps through their homes in the night,
    He hears the Whos singing with all their might.
    And in that moment, his heart starts to grow,
    As he realizes the true meaning of the show.

    He returns all the gifts, and joins in their feast,
    A reformed Grinch, his bitterness released.
    And the Whos, they welcome him with open arms,
    Forgiving his past and his previous harms.

    So if you’re looking for a book to read,
    How the Grinch Stole Christmas is sure to succeed.
    With its rhyming words and colorful art,
    It’s a classic Seuss that will warm your heart.

    My daughter (age 3) is really into readying stories together so I bought this for her to read with me over Christmas, it's a really nice alternative to the usual Christmas stories and now one of our family favourites. We will be getting this book out to read for many Christmases to come.
