Aprovechando un viaje desde Valencia a Caracas, decidí leer este libro porque es algo ligero y divertido para la carretera.
.
Me gustó que haya sido ligero y que las ilustraciones sean tan llamativas, a pesar de que el único color predominante es el rojo. No es el mejor libro infantil que he leído pero si uno divertido.
.
Hallé un poco fastidioso, la pronunciada repetición de algunas palabras pero se que es para que los niños puedan leer en voz alta y que se aprendan las palabras pero, dos o tres veces bastaban.
.
(Leí la versión disponible en lectulandia).

Lo, good people, here is the hagiography of the Grinch and his Christmas miracle that canonized his tumultuous tale of midnight mischief. With each returning of the festive season, the tale of the Grinch is told again and again, bewitching the minds of children nestled in their bed as a message on the meaning of the season to cut through all the packages, boxes and bags that clutter our hearts and homes during this time. For the Grinch, a foul creature who stomped about in his chilly cave and—upon his 53rd season of the Who Standard calendar cycle—engaged in a great act of mass larceny, is not unlike St. Godric of Finchale as is put down in the book of [b:Godric|76802|Godric|Frederick Buechner|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1511047638l/76802._SY75_.jpg|74283]) by [a:Frederick Buechner|19982|Frederick Buechner|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1274727466p2/19982.jpg]. Yet upon the dawning of the Christmas Day, with his faithful beast Max in tow, his heart grew not just one size, NAY dear reader! not even two, but THREE, THREE sizes that Christmas morn! An expression of the trinity perhaps, a great christmas miracle and so we, too, grew with that great heart! I move to petition for immediate canonization of Sainthood for Ethan Grinch of Whoville, a beast not unlike ourselves who demonstrates the power of a change of heart and a return to tenderness.
Okay but all jokes aside, are the Who’s celebrating the birth of Human Jesus or is there a Who nativity story? Or perhaps this is some Who Saturnalia?
I love this book. It is one I have read or seen so many times I can recite it from memory, which I have done so on several occasions. Those who remember my time as Barnes and Noble storytime leader can attest. There are slight differences between the book and animated film (red vs black thread, and the book doesn’t contain whimsical Who-world presents) though I’ve found that the changes in the animated actually read much smoother and I see why the alterations were made (the “it was merry! VERY!” part reads very clunkily in the book). A holiday classic for sure.

Second story by Dr. Seuss that my kid read. She is familiar with the film, but as we live in Spain, Dr. Seuss is not as popular as he is in the US. When she was younger she didn't have the vocabulary to understand it fully and how, that she is 12, she has enjoyed it a lot.

Me encanta que el Grinch acabe acercándose a la Navidad por mucho que la odiase y la robase.
La Navidad no son solo regalos, es estar rodeado de la gente que quieres.

And the Grinch, with his grinch-feet ice-cold in the snow,
Stood puzzling and puzzling: "How could it be so?
It came without ribbons! It came without tags!
"It came without packages, boxes or bags!"
And he puzzled three hours, `till his puzzler was sore.
Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before!
"Maybe Christmas," he thought, "doesn't come from a store.
"Maybe Christmas...perhaps...means a little bit more!"

Another Dr Seuss tale that broke my heart..
It could be his head wasn’t screwed on just right.
It could be, perhaps, that his shoes were too tight,
But I think that the most likely reason of all
May have been that his heart was too sizes too small
The grinsh hated Christmas because he couldn't relate to the artificial things that came with it, it's heartbreaking to see his transformation from the nasty creature in the beginning to the loving sharing one in the end.. All thanks to figuring out that Christmas was all about loving & sharing.. The tree & gifts are just extra
