  • One year has passed since the Grinch stole Christmas from the town of Whoville.
  • 2
  • Now, the green creature is back in a follow-up book called How the Grinch Lost Christmas!
  • 3
  • And he wants to prove to the Whos of Whoville that he has changed.
  • 4
  • The Grinch is a character from the 1957 children's book How the Grinch Stole Christmas! by Dr. Seuss.
  • 5
  • In that story, the Grinch tries to ruin Whoville's Christmas by stealing their gifts, ornaments and food.
  • 6
  • But later he learns that the holiday is about spending time with family and friends.
  • 7
  • Dr. Seuss's book sold millions of copies and was translated into several languages.
  • 8
  • The story has been turned into a television program, two movies and even a Broadway musical.
  • 9
  • Random House, the book's publisher, said in a statement, "One of the most asked questions we receive from Seuss fans of all ages is 'What do you think happened to the Grinch after he stole Christmas?'"
  • 10
  • So, the decision was made to write a new book to follow up on the story.
  • 11
  • The new book, How the Grinch Lost Christmas!, starts a year later in Whoville.
  • 12
  • The Grinch wants to prove that his heart has grown to love the holiday.
  • 13
  • The Grinch had been patiently waiting all year,
  • 14
  • To celebrate Christmas and bring the Whos cheer,
  • 15
  • And to show every Who he was DIFFERENT now.
  • 16
  • "I've changed!" thought the Grinch,
  • 17
  • "And I'll prove it! But HOW?"
  • 18
  • So, the Grinch tries to win a Whoville's Christmas award by making the largest and the best Christmas tree the Whos have ever seen.
  • 19
  • But, things do not go as planned.
  • 20
  • Young Cindy-Lou Who wins the contest.
  • 21
  • The Grinch is shocked and his heart turns ice cold.
  • 22
  • The green creature threatens to leave Whoville for real this time.
  • 23
  • Cindy-Lou reaches out and tells the Grinch that her tree has ornaments from everyone in Whoville except one.
  • 24
  • In the end, the Grinch returns with an ornament for Cindy-Lou and regains his spirit of giving.
  • 25
  • Dr. Seuss, whose real name was Theodor Seuss Geisel, died in 1991.
  • 26
  • So, Alastair Heim, who has worked on several Dr. Seuss' books, wrote the new story. And Aristides Ruiz provided the illustrations.
  • 27
  • Heim told The Associated Press in an email last February, "All throughout writing the story, I couldn't fully believe that I was actually getting to play in the amazing creative sandbox Dr. Seuss created all those decades ago."
  • 28
  • Ruiz said he jumped at the chance to draw for the book.
  • 29
  • But he said the work on the new book was "difficult" because it is such a big part of the Christmas tradition in the United States.
