How The Grinch Stole Christmas! by Dr. Seuss

Down in Whoville all the Whos love Christmas a lot. But the Grinch hated Christmas. He doesn't like the noise, the feasts or the singing. This is because his heart is at least two sizes too small. He decides to stop Christmas happening. So he made a quick Santa Claus outfit, he got a sledge and made his dog Max look like a reindeer. He sqeezed down the Whos chimneys and took all their presents, decorations, food, Christmas trees even the log for the fire. All that was left was a crumb too small for a mouse. He went to dump all the stuff over the side of a mountain but stopped to hear all the Whos crying when they saw Christmas had gone. But to his surprise he heard the sound of happy voices singing. He was very puzzled for three hours til his puzzler was sore. He realised that Christmas meant more than just things and he couldn't stop it from coming. His heart grew three sizes that day and he took all the things back to Whoville where he joined in the fun. And he carved the roast beast.
I like this book because it tells you that Christmas means more than just presents. It means that it is more important to be together and to share love.
