Based on Dr. Seuss’ beloved book, this joyous, heart-tickling holiday event which features the voice of legendary actor Boris Karloff, has delighted all ages since its 1966 debut.

MY THOUGHTS

I grew up with Dr. Seuss everry Christmas with the "Grinch Who Stole Christmas" and always knew I would with my kids.  I was thrilled to get this dvd since I had never seen the "The Grinch Grinches The Cat in the Hat" or the "Halloween is a Grinch Night".  I knew my kids would love the Grinch and the Cat in the Hat since they are in love with the Cat in the Hat right now.  I have to say I liked this dvd alot when my family and I set down to watch it with a big bowl of popcorn of course!  My kids loved it. 

The dvd is perfect for any Grinch fan or Dr. Seuss fan.  The dvd is available now at mass retailers and online at Amazon.com for $21.99.  Go grab a copy of it to watch with the family.  After all Dr. Seuss is a classic!
