Dr. Seuss’ ‘How the Grinch stole Christmas!’ is Getting a Sequel
If you’re a Dr. Seuss fan, you are either going to love or hate this news, there’s no in between…
The fan favorite ‘How The Grinch Stole Christmas’ is officially getting a sequel but, it’s not written by Dr. Seuss.
According to reports, the new book picks up one year after the original and will teach a valuable lesson about the true spirit of the holiday (just like the first book).
The book sequel will be entitled “How the Grinch Lost Christmas!” and is not based on a story written by Dr. Seuss — whose real name was Theodor Geisel.
Instead, the book was written by Alastair Heim who has previously written several “by the Cat in the Hat” books including If I Had Your Vote, If I Ran Your School, and If I Were Saint Nick.
“One of the most asked questions we receive from Seuss fans of all ages is ’What do you think happened to the Grinch after he stole Christmas?”
Alice Jonaitis, executive editor at Random House Children’s Books, in a statement.
And it looks like we will finally get to see what happens…
In this sequel, the Grinch wants to show how much he loves the holiday by winning Who-ville’s Christmas Crown with the most spectacular Christmas tree ever seen, according to Dr. Seuss Enterprises.
But when his plan goes awry, the Grinch turns into his old, cold-hearted self, until his friend Cindy-Lou Who, reminds him that Christmas is not all about winning.
The new book, is scheduled for release Sept. 5, 2023. You can pre-order the new book on Amazon here.
