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.
