Product Description
INSIDE THIS VERY SPECIAL anniversary edition of How the Grinch Stole Christmas!, you'll find the complete, original text and illustrations by Dr. Seuss, along with 32 fascinating pages of commentary, footnotes and archival images - written and compiled by renowned collector and Seuss scholar Charles D. Cohen. In chatty, conversational style, Cohen reflects upon Dr. Seuss's changing view of Christmas over the years and traces the evolution of the Grinch, his dog Max, and the inhabitants of Who-ville. Also together for the first time are three rarely seen Seuss holiday offerings: "Perfect Present," a poem about the fluff-footed, frizzle-topped, three-fingered Zift and why it makes the ideal gift; "The Hoobub and the Grinch," a story about a con artist Grinch who sells pieces of green string; and the spiritually compelling painting and poem "A Prayer for a Child."

 Thank you Charles D. Cohen! October 31, 2007

This book is a treasure! The 32 pages of insightful commentary confirms Cohen as the powerhouse of Seussianna. His Grinch book brings out captivating tid bits of cool Seuss knowledge that ticklemy brain like a zany Seuss Rhyme. Cohen proves again that he's the single most authority on all things Seuss. Thanks for the 29 pages of brainy commentary packed at the end of Seuss's classic Story!!

I bought it for my 2 year old, she LOVES books. The cover comes off easily, so I had to put it in a drawer. I love the story, but wish the book were more durable. Maybe better for older children.
The classic Grinch story... and then some! October 5, 2007

Oh, how we love the Grinch. And now we can know so much more about what makes him tick... This new anniversary edition includes the original story, but adds an essay in the back that explores Seuss' view of Christmas, the visual and conceptual evolution of the Grinch character, and the adaptation of the story into the TV special that we all know and love so well. Written by uber-Seuss-ologist Charles D. Cohen, the essay features wonderful illustrations and all sorts of groovy Grinch memorabilia... A fun look behind the scenes of one of the all-time great children's classics. Cool beans. (ReadThatAgain!)
