- The story opens up with the Whos down in Whoville preparing all manner of celebration and festivities for Christmas Day, including singing Christmas songs, preparing Christmas decorations, and igniting Christmas bonfires. Modern theologians cite the lack of mention of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, but this is a minor detail in the story which can be easily left to the imagination of the viewer.
- The book contains sixty-nine pages, most of which are dominated by the illustrations (in three colors; black, white and red). The book can easily be read by a parent to a child in one sitting. However, the book uses more sophisticated vocabulary and requires a higher reading level than the 1960 Seuss book Green Eggs and Ham and the 1957 book The Cat in the Hat. Consequently, children who have enjoyed those books, althought they should have no difficulty understanding How the Grinch Stole Christmas!, may struggle to read it on their own.

| - The story was published as a book by Random House in 1957, and at approximately the same time in an issue of Redbook. The book criticizes the commercialization of Christmas. Based on a 2007 online poll, the National Education Association named the book one of its "Teachers' Top 100 Books for Children". It was one of the "Top 100 Picture Books" of all time in a 2012 poll by School Library Journal. In 2000 the book was turned into a film starring Jim Carrey as The Grinch.
- The book contains sixty-nine pages, most of which are dominated by the illustrations (in three colors; black, white and red). The book can easily be read by a parent to a child in one sitting. However, the book uses more sophisticated vocabulary and requires a higher reading level than the 1960 Seuss book Green Eggs and Ham and the 1957 book The Cat in the Hat. Consequently, children who have enjoyed those books, althought they should have no difficulty understanding How the Grinch Stole Christmas!, may struggle to read it on their own. How the Grinch Stole Christmas! was adapted in 1966 as an animated TV special, directed by Chuck Jones and narrated by Boris Karloff, and in 2000 as a live action movie, directed by Ron Howard and starring Jim Carrey as the title character.
- The story opens up with the Whos down in Whoville preparing all manner of celebration and festivities for Christmas Day, including singing Christmas songs, preparing Christmas decorations, and igniting Christmas bonfires. Modern theologians cite the lack of mention of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, but this is a minor detail in the story which can be easily left to the imagination of the viewer. However, in a mountaintop cave overlooking Whoville, there lives a mean-spirited monstrous being known as The Grinch. He loathes all the cheeriness and noise of the Christmas celebration, which is attributed to a number of factors, chiefly his crippling disfigurement of having a severely shrunken heart. Modern physicians cite the lack of proper anatomical knowledge concerning the heart's lack of influence on emotion, but this is a minor detail in the story which can be easily left to the imagination of the viewer. He hatches a plan to steal all the festive decorations and presents from Whoville in an attempt to rob the town of the spirit of Christmas itself. In a show of mocking irony, he wears a classic Santa Claus outfit while doing so. The story reaches a touching conclusion when the Whos down in Whoville, who may be functionally braindead, are overjoyed regardless that Christmas has arrived. The Grinch, noticing their stupefying optimism, loses the last shred of his sanity and becomes similarly overwhelmed with joy, even overcoming his heart problem. He then joins the Whos in their celebration, returning all their Christmas decorations and presents, and the entire town suffers a euphoria-based meltdown. Modern politicians note the lack of a properly punitive system of justice in Whoville, but this is a minor detail in the story which can be easily left to the imagination of the viewer.
- How The Grinch Stole Christmas is an upcoming computer-animated film based on the book How the Grinch Stole Christmas by Dr. Seuss and was the remake version of 2000 live-action film. It will be released in theaters on November 17, 2017 by Universal Pictures.
