My little guy received this for Christmas and just adores it. He already had memorized 80% of the book so when he saw it on TV in motion, he was extatic! What one views on the screen is *exactly* like what's in this book, so while my son watches it, he has the book in his lap and follows along. Also, for those with super-young kiddos, this cartoon version is perfect because the grinch isn't scary looking at all. I've seen one other cartoon version of this story where he looked a bit too odd even for me! :) Also, for adults, this is a nice blast-from-the-past as well! :) All in all, this was a great purchase!
