Good introduction to the characters and basic events of the newest Grinch movie. I have not seen the movie, but this was a good way to get familiar with some of the characters.
I was a little disappointed that this book didn’t rhyme. I mean, come on, it’s The Grinch. But besides that it was good. Cute illustrations.
This is a very, very introductory book, i.e. it’s mostly just introducing the characters. Some of the descriptions were a little disappointing as some pretty much just describe how the character looks (which you can already clearly see in the illustration).
After the character introduction, the book goes on to explain the basic, well-known plot of The Grinch.
This is a Step 2 book for preschool to grade 1 readers. It uses short sentences and simple vocabulary for beginning readers.
Overall, good book. I picked this up from the library to read with a little girl I work with who loves the Grinch.
