Hi guys!
Welcome back to Satisfaction for Insatiable Readers.
Well, it’s that special time of year when everyone feels the warmth of the holiday spirit enveloping them and merriment is just a regular part of your scheduled day. Okay, so maybe I overstated that a little bit, but it IS said to be the MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR and a strong case can be made for that bigger than average feeling (three sizes bigger, in fact!) if we take a closer look at books featured today!
It’s a duo of Children’s Fiction titles from Penguin Random House that’s a perfect fit for the holiday season. For the big to the small, the young and young at heart, readers of all ages will delight in rediscovering a classic in a new way as well the board book addition to the family featuring a character long overdue some time in the spotlight. Ladies and gents, Who’s, Grinch's, and puppers alike, gather round as we share the joy of the reading season with today’s TWO books of choice...

What’s this? Confusion as to why I’m shedding some light on a title that’s been around the block more than a few times? Well, let me set your mind at ease. I’ve not lost my marbles, or been conked on the head by some random Whoville instrument falling from the sky. THIS EDITION IS IN FULL COLOR!
That’s right! The story you know and love is all there with its Grinchiest moments of stealth and sneekery, as well as it moments of glory as Christmas still arrives despite all the store bought wonders being gone...BUT NOW, every scribble, every doodle, every who-whatzit or who-dingle is in full color so your imagination can continue to go wild as you and yours immerse yourself in this favorite holiday classic. It’s a great way to continue the holiday tradition while adding something memorable to your holiday reading stash. Can we say, instant gift giving idea?!

This is the story of the Grinch’s little unwitting cohort and long time companion….Max! You know...the cute little doggo that dons the reindeer antler in order pull the seriously overweight sleigh in a misguided attempt at stealing Christmas? Yep, that’s the pup! Max is here to tell us that while yes, the Grinch wasn’t always a happy fellow to be around, ever since that magical day, he’s been a delight! They play together, eat together, and just plain have fun together in more ways than ever before. It’s a delightful treat that pays homage to the original story, while letting readers back into Mt. Crumpit territory with characters we all know and love. You might find your own heart growing a size or two in delight!
