The Grinch!

I love the Grinch, and this audiobook was exactly what I wanted it to be. A fun retelling of one of my favourite Christmas tales.

Great Story and wonderfully Read

I have watched the Grinch every year at Christmas since I was little. This is just a wonderful quick way of bringing back those memories and getting me into the Christmas spirit in just a short period of time.

Not good

I love Walter Matthau but I hate books that have music - it distracts from the story quite badly and this book has music all the way through. It was a total waste of money. Not worth it!

paid $3 for a 12 minute story I'm not happy

I'm really not happy I didn't realize that I was actually paying $3 for a 12 minute audio story for my 6 year old niece to go to sleep too and if anybody has children we all know that it takes more than 12 minutes to have a child fall asleep other than that the story is great but I'm not impressedand my 6-year-old niece is very very sad right now

Background music detracted from story

Not only did the background music detract from the story, but the characters voices felt out of place. Narrator was good otherwise.
