How the Grinch Stole Christmas! by Dr. Seuss is a beloved holiday classic that has captured the hearts of readers since its publication in 1957. The story is told in whimsical rhymes and accompanied by Seuss's signature illustrations.

Summary:

The book tells the story of the Grinch, a grouchy, green creature who lives in a cave atop Mount Crumpit, overlooking the cheerful town of Whoville. The Whos, the town's residents, are known for their festive Christmas spirit, which the Grinch finds intolerable. Deciding to stop Christmas from coming, the Grinch devises a plan to steal all the Whos' holiday decorations, gifts, and food.

Disguised as Santa Claus, the Grinch sneaks into Whoville on Christmas Eve and carries out his plan. However, to his astonishment, the Whos still celebrate joyfully on Christmas morning, singing together despite their losses. This realization leads the Grinch to understand that Christmas is not about material things but about love, community, and togetherness.

His heart grows "three sizes" larger, and he returns everything he stole, joining the Whos in their Christmas celebration.
