How the Grinch Stole Christmas Book Quotes

What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. What if Christmas ... perhaps ... means a little bit more! The Grinch.

FIRST SENTENCE: “Every Who Down in Whoville Liked Christmas a lot…
But the Grinch,Who lived just north of Whoville, Did NOT!
The Grinch hated Christmas! The whole Christmas season!
Now, please don’t ask why. No one quite knows the reason.”

“But I think that the most likely reason of all,
May have been that his heart was two sizes too small.”

“Whatever the reason, His heart or his shoes,
He stood there on Christmas Eve, hating the Whos,
Staring down from his cave with a sour, Grinchy frown,
At the warm lighted windows below in their town.”

“Tomorrow is Christmas! It’s practically here!”

“But the sound wasn’t sad! Why, this sound sounded merry!
It couldn’t be so! But it WAS merry! VERY!”

“And when CindyLou Who went to bed with her cup,
HE went to the chimney and stuffed the tree up!
Then the last thing he took Was the log for their fire!
Then he went up the chimney, himself, the old liar.”

“Every Who down in Who-ville, the tall and the small,
Was singing! Without any presents at all!
He HADN’T stopped Christmas from coming!
IT CAME!”

“Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn’t before! What if Christmas, he thought, doesn’t come from a store. What if Christmas…perhaps…means a little bit more!” –  How the Grinch Stole Christmas by Dr. Seuss

“Well…in Whoville they say,
That the Grinch’s small heart Grew three sizes that day!”

LAST SENTENCE: “He whizzed with his load through the bright morning light,
And he brought back the toys! And the food for the feast!
And he, HE HIMSELF! The Grinch carved the roast beast!”

The Grinch's small heart grew three sizes that day! The Grinch.

About How the Grinch Stole Christmas

about

How the Grinch Stole Christmas is one of the most beloved Dr. Seuss children’s books. A Christmas short story for all ages, it features a furry green creature in Whoville’s festive, charming town who does NOT like Christmas. So, he decides to steal it from the townspeople. But, when they remain joyful, he has a change of heart.

It was followed by the classic cartoon with the memorable song, “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch,” and later by the 2000 Jim Carrey movie adaptation. They are all yearly holiday staples!
