Bookroo's summary

In the town of Who-ville, everyone loves Christmas—except the Grinch. With a heart two sizes too small, he schemes to ruin the holiday. But when he encounters the innocent Cindy-Lou Who, will his icy heart melt? As the Grinch's plan unfolds, the true power of Christmas spirit might just surprise him. Can a single night change a lifetime of grumpiness? Discover a tale of transformation and joy that warms even the coldest hearts.

“Maybe Christmas (he thought) doesn’t come from a store. Maybe Christmas perhaps means a little bit more.”
