The Grinch, whose heart is two sizes too small, hates Who-ville's holiday celebrations, and plans to steal all the presents to prevent Christmas from coming. To his amazement, Christmas comes anyway, and the Grinch discovers the true meaning of the holiday.

What's just as satisfying—or maybe even better—than curling up under a blanket with a big bowl of popcorn and a mug of hot cocoa to watch one of your favorite holiday films? Listening to the audiobook that it's based on! Many of the most iconic movies we watch every year during the holidays were inspired by books, some well-known and some eclipsed by the fame of their adaptations. These listens are worth revisiting time and time again.

Would you consider the audio edition of How the Grinch Stole Christmas to be better than the print version?

Seuss is silly, Matthau is comical, together they present a great Christmas story with lots of emotion. I can't think of any other person to read this story. Delightful!

Matthau and Seuss, a pair!

I'm no child but I've always loved this story when I saw it was available in audio I had to buy it. i was not disappointed and its short so that I think that my grandkids will sit still long enough to listen to it as well. I loved the narration I saw the story in my head.

Any additional comments?

Walter Matthau makes the story sound much more like a conversation rather than the performance of a poem.

Great read be a great reader!
