This was an adorable graphic novel about The Grinch taking a vacation. The Grinch and Max take trips to the beach, theme park and mountain. The Grinch learns that the experiences and memories is what it is all about. Upon returning to Whoville he realizes how much he has missed home. This was an enjoyable graphic with a great story and graphics.
I loved this super cute graphic novel about The Grinch and Max taking a vacation. It had enough humor to keep me invested as an adult & was an interesting take on The Grinch's life post-original book. I really appreciated the reviews that The Grinch and other vacation attendees gave each vacation spot, it was super fun to imagine The Grinch on Yelp. 🤣 Overall, this would be a great intro to graphic novels for the kiddos!
Thanks to NetGalley, Random House Children's, and Kaeti Vandorn for the chance to read and review! My opinions are my own.
Easily the best of the three Dr. Seuss Graphic Novel offerings. It helps that the Grinch is the most developed character among the trilogy. Kaeti Vandorn's illustrations capture the fun of Seuss without trying to copy the original style. Max and The Grinch are both well illustrated and expressive.
Fed up with hearing the other Whos talk about their vacation, the Grinch decides to venture out on his own, taking Max along to the beach, a theme park, and a ski resort. He has a predictably grinch-y outlook about his experiences, but learns a lesson about making memories.
This is cute, child appealing, and the vocabulary fits well with its target audience.
I REALLY ENJOYED THIS QUICK READ ABOUT THE GRINCH TAKING A VACATION.
I EXPECTED HIM TO BE UNHAPPY WITH THE EXPERIENCES BUT HE DID ENJOY PARTS OF IT AND THAT MADE ME SMILE.
I THINK KIDS WILL LIKE THE STORY AND FIND THE DRAWINGS ENTERTAINING.
Dr. Seuss lovers will find this graphic novel to be fun and entertaining. The pictures will draw the reader in and the topic of a vacation with The Grinch is a new adventure kids will be excited to read. The illustrations are unique, but pay homage to Dr. Seuss.
Random House has launched a series of Dr. Seuss books turned into graphic novels, and, while none are inspiring, this one is better than Green Eggs and Ham Take a Hike. That’s damning the book with faint praise, but so be it.
The Grinch, no longer so misanthropic, still lacks a lot of knowledge of what normal people — I mean, Whos — are like. In this case, the Grinch learns about vacations. Author Kaeti Vandorn manages to imbue this chapter book with some humor and whimsy. Luckily, the Grinch isn’t seen as something for preschoolers, but rather a life lesson for all. Definitely worth a read.
In the interest of full disclosure, I received this book from NetGalley, Random House Children and Random House Graphic in exchange for an honest review.
Thank you NetGalley for this copy! My daughter enjoys graphic novels, and loves the grinch. This is a fun story to follow the grinch along his vacation.
This was such a super fun story with super cute illustrations all about the Grinch getting out of his comfort zone and going on vacation to try new things away from Whoville. All his adventures going to the beach, the amusement park and the mountains were fun and him posting on social media how much fun he wasn’t having was a hoot. Great for kids who love Dr. Seuss and want to see more adventures with his iconic characters.
Thanks to Random House Graphic and Netgalley for the complimentary copy of this book. All opinions in this review are my own.
