Bookmas ha terminado oficialmente. Espero poder hacerlo de nuevo
el próximo año, porque incluso con el estrés de que tenía que subir un nuevo
libro a diario (que no logré). Muchas gracias por el continuo apoyo y feliz
Navidad (O Hannukah* si es el caso, o cualquier celebración), pásenla hermoso y
que los llenen de amor. Espero les haya gustado esto. Besos, abrazos y demás.
*No sé cómo se escribe Hannukah en español.
"The Grinch hated Christmas!
The whole Christmas season! / Now, please don't ask why. No one quite knows the
reason." Dr. Seuss's small-hearted Grinch ranks right up there with
Scrooge when it comes to the crankiest, scowling holiday grumps of all time.
For 53 years, the Grinch has lived in a cave on the side of a mountain, looming
above the Whos in Whoville. The noisy holiday preparations and infernal singing
of the happy little citizens below annoy him to no end. The Grinch decides this
frivolous merriment must stop. His "wonderful, awful" idea is to don
a Santa outfit, strap heavy antlers on his poor, quivering dog Max, construct a
makeshift sleigh, head down to Whoville, and strip the chafingly cheerful Whos
of their Yuletide glee once and for all.
Looking quite
out of place and very disturbing in his makeshift Santa get-up, the Grinch
slithers down chimneys with empty bags and stealing the Whos' presents, their
food, even the logs from their humble Who-fires. He takes the ramshackle sleigh
to Mt. Crumpit to dump it and waits to hear the sobs of the Whos when they wake
up and discover the trappings of Christmas have disappeared. Imagine the Whos'
dismay when they discover the evil-doings of Grinch in his anti-Santa guise.
But what is that sound? It's not sobbing, but singing! Children simultaneously
adore and fear this triumphant, twisted Seussian testimonial to the undaunted
cheerfulness of the Whos, the transcendent nature of joy, and of course, the
growth potential of a heart that's two sizes too small. This holiday classic is
perfect for reading aloud to your favorite little Whos.
