Dr. Seuss’ ‘How the Grinch stole Christmas!’ gets a sequel

BOSTON (AP) — Dr. Seuss fans might find their hearts growing three sizes this coming holiday season with the release of a sequel to the 1957 classic children’s book “How the Grinch Stole Christmas!”

The new book picks up one year after the original, and like the first, teaches a valuable lesson about the true spirit of the holiday.

In the sequel, the Grinch wants to show how much he loves the holiday by winning Who-ville’s Christmas Crown with the most spectacular Christmas tree ever seen, according to Dr. Seuss Enterprises.

But when his plan goes awry, the Grinch turns into his old, cold-hearted self, until his friend Cindy-Lou Who, reminds him that Christmas is not all about winning.

Some of his work has been criticized in recent years because of racist imagery that in 2021 prompted Dr. Seuss Enterprises to cease publication of six books, including “And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street” and “If I Ran the Zoo.”

I’m surprised they didn’t make the Grinch non-binary.

In the sequel we learn that the grinch is mean because the Whos in Whoville won’t let him groom their kids while they bow to a Jim Carrey drawn painting of Trump.

The best Seuss book ever is the Star-Bellied Sneeches.

A great allegory on how the deep state (Sylvester McMonkey McBean) profits off fostering racial division.

Why isn’t the Grinch in the sequel the town council who won’t allow a Christmas tree because it isn’t inclusive?

We're talking about Hollywood here. You're gonna have to be more specific.

It won’t be the same without Dr. Seuss himself writing it.

Why can’t these publishers and media types leave well enough alone? Like a virus, they glom onto every single thing from the past that they think they can market with a sequel. Come up with something original. This sequel is just going to weaken the legacy of the original work. It probably will be a PC/Woke embarassment.

As an aside -the Grinch won’t be Trans or gay. He’s the villain. He will be a straight white Christian in a MAGA hat.
