For what it is, Alastair Heim and Aristides Ruiz’s “Dr. Seuss’s How the Grinch Lost Christmas!” is a fun read. It pales in comparison to Dr. Seuss’ seminal classic, but as its own little Christmas read, it’s cute enough.

A year after “How the Grinch Stole Christmas”, the Grinch enters Whoville’s annual Christmas Tree contest to prove how much he loves Christmas – and the Whos in Whoville. But on Christmas Day, when the winners are crowned, the Grinch learns a lesson all of us must one day learn. A lesson that may very well change how he feels about Christmas all over again.
