Grow your heart three sizes—and dazzle your eyes—with this FULL COLOR edition of the beloved holiday classic How the Grinch Stole Christmas!—the perfect gift for under the tree and for Dr. Seuss fans and collectors any time of year!

This season of giving, give a gift that's never been given before—a full color edition of How the Grinch Stole Christmas! Originally published in 1957 using just 2 different colored inks (red and black), this new, jacketed edition features Dr. Seuss's original illustrations in full color for the very first time—the way he'd have likely colored them had he published the book today! While this edition is not a replacement for the original, it makes a cheerful addition to the Dr. Seuss canon that is bound to appeal to Dr. Seuss fans of all ages. PS: The drabness of the Grinch's life in his cave compared to the happy, vibrant life of the Whos in Who-ville has never been easier to see.

At the story time, RJ Julia will collect gently used children’s books for local non-profit Read to Grow. Be sure to check out our “Books to Donate” display or browse online. Read to Grow promotes language-building and literacy for children, beginning at birth, and supports parents as their babies' first teachers. Your kindness will make a great difference to others in need—don't be surprised if your heart grows three sizes, too!
