Is It Any Good?
HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS! offers many fun ways for kids to interact with the story digitally, but it's not the strongest Dr. Seuss app in the library. The male narrator's British accent is questionable, and the illustrations don't always change with each page turn, which affects the story's pacing. It's still a great app with a lot to offer, including the original illustrations from the book.
