Meet & Greet with The Grinch
Featured Book
Dr. Seuss's How the Grinch Stole Christmas...According to Max! (Classic Seuss)
Everyone's favorite sidekick, Max--aka the Grinch's partner-in-crime--is BACK! And this time, he's the hero of the story. Get Max's point of view on what happened that fateful Christmas Eve in this heartwarming retelling of the classic How the Grinch Stole Christmas!
Those Whos down in Who-ville loved Christmas, it’s true.
And a DOG
Just north of Who-ville…
…Did TOO!
It’s time to hear HIS side of the story!
The Grinch and Max live high up on Mt. Crumpit, overlooking the town of Who-ville. Max adores Christmas. It’s his favorite day of the year! But the Grinch despises Christmas. In fact, he plans to STEAL Christmas from the Whos—with Max as his helper!
Learn how Max tries to save Christmas—and himself—from the Grinch’s awful plans, and how a shocking but wonderful surprise saves the day and grows the Grinch’s heart three sizes!
Featuring a glitter-enhanced jacket and full-color illustrations rendered in the iconic style of the original, this twist on the classic story is a splendid gift and a must-have addition to the libraries of Dr. Seuss fans of all ages!
This book will be available for purchase at the event.
