Those Whos down in Who-ville loved Christmas, it’s true.
And a DOG
Just north of Who-ville…
…Did TOO!

It’s time to hear HIS side of the story!

The Grinch and Max live high up on Mt. Crumpit, overlooking the town of Who-ville. Max adores Christmas. It’s his favorite day of the year! But the Grinch despises Christmas. In fact, he plans to STEAL Christmas from the Whos—with Max as his helper!
