Dr Seuss How The Grinch Stole Christmas

The Grinch cannot stand the Whos' Christmas celebrations and decides to stop the holiday by stealing everything they have prepared. Yet the morning brings a surprise that makes him question what Christmas really means. Dr Seuss's energetic rhyme turns a wonderfully grumpy character into a warm festive story, with humour, memorable pictures and a generous message about joy, togetherness and the possibility of a change of heart.

Age suitability and learning: Preschool (3-5), Primary (6-8). Rhythm and repeated language help younger listeners join in, while primary readers can explore the words and pictures more closely. Reading aloud supports listening, sound awareness and expressive speech; following the story encourages recall and talking about what happens next.
