Something we never thought we needed…a sequel to Dr. Seuss’ ‘How The Grinch Stole Christmas.’

But that’s what’s happening according to  Susan Brandt, the president and CEO of Dr. Seuss Enterprises, which manages the author’s legacy.

 

 

The new book will explore what happened to the Grinch after he tried — unsuccessfully — to steal Xmas.

Written by Alastair Heim, who previously wrote two Seuss-themed books, it will be titled ‘How The Grinch Lost Christmas!’  And according to the publisher, it will show how the  Grinch is “eager to prove that his heart has grown to love the holiday.”

 

Illustrated by Aristides Ruiz, who illustrated ‘Learning Library’ versions of another enduring Seuss work, ‘The Cat in the Hat.’

 

Scheduled for release on 5 September.
