»Der Grinch oder Die geklauten Geschenke«

The Grinch hates Christmas and everything that goes with it: the children’s cheers as they unwrap gifts, the festive meals, and the Whos singing together. So, he decides to ruin the holiday for them. Disguising himself as Santa Claus, he squeezes down the Whos’ chimneys and steals all their Christmas preparations—trees, presents, and decorations—even emptying their refrigerators down to the last crumb. But his plan fails; he cannot steal the magic and love of Christmas, and in the end, even his hard, tiny heart grows soft and large…

Dr. Seuss’s 1957 book »How the Grinch Stole Christmas!« is a true classic known to every child in America. Its 2018 film adaptation—the most successful Christmas movie of all time—has also earned the Grinch a spot on the list of holiday favorites here.

Berlin-based illustrator, translator, and author Nadia Budde has created a brilliant translation of the book, and a magnificent new full-color edition was released in the autumn of 2026. Whether you love the holidays or are a winter grump, it isn’t just the bright green Grinch’s heart that will grow three sizes by the end… As a special bonus, Nadia Budde is also bringing along her own amusing picture-book classic, »Eins zwei drei Rentier«!
