Books for Kids

The book that I chose was “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” by Dr. Seuss. The child’s book that consists of 51 pages has an about the author in the back that states that Seuss has written and illustrated 44 world-famous books for children. The cover of the book shows the Grinch with a smirk on his face and he’s surrounded by white, green, and orange. This book is a classic that has been turned into a classic movie. With characters consisting of the Grinch himself, Max his dog, Cindy-Lou Who, and the rest of the Who-Villains, the story shows how The Grinch hates Christmas and everyone in Who-Ville, so he decides to steal Christmas. He Dresses up as Grinchy Claus and sneaks into everyone’s house to steal their presents. That didn’t stop Christmas from coming, and when he saw that everyone was still merry, his heart grew three sizes. As most children’s’ books, it consists of animals as characters, uses rhyming words, teaches a lesson, has creatures in it, kids as characters, adults as characters, uses humor, have illustrations, and has a very sentimental tone to it. My favorite sentence from the book is “Every Who down in Who-Ville, the tall and the small, was singing! Without and presents at all!” This shows that there’s more to Christmas than just the presents, but it’s about everyone coming together and being happy and merry. I would have, and did, love this book as a child because I was obsessed with Dr. Seuss and love Christmas.
