title: How the Grinch Stole Christmas! Movie Storybook
author:  Louise Gikow 
description: Here is a quirky and refreshing new take on the traditional movie storybook. It's told from the point of view of the two slightly batty Old Biddies who lovingly raise the Grinch from the night of his arrival in Who-ville to the day he runs off to live in his cave on Mt. Crumpit.<br /><br />Organized as a photo album cum scrapbook, it tells the whole story of the Grinch's life, through still photos from the movie, extended captions, and running commentary. <br /><br />The Biddies' somewhat skewed take on events gives this very funny story an additional level of charm and laugh-out-loud wackiness.

  Through a website, Charles Brewster, history professor avowed grinch, arranges
  to swap houses for the holiday with Emily Springer, widowed mother of one. So
  Emily goes to Boston—but finds that her daughter has gone to Florida. And
  Charles arrives in Leavenworth to discover that it’s not the quiet prison town
  he thought it was—it’s a Santa’s village in Washington! The place is full of
  Christmas trees, Christmas music and…elves.
  
  
  Meanwhile, Emily’s friend Faith Kerrigan travels to Leavenworth to visit her
  and instead finds Charles. Then Charles’s brother, Ray, shows up at his home
  in Boston to discover that he isn’t there—but Emily is.
  
  
  Through all the mix-ups and misunderstandings, amid the chaos and confusion,
  romance begins to emerge in unexpected ways. Because everything changes at
  Christmas!
