How the Grinch Stole Christmas reviews
4.5 out of 5, based on 5,234 reviews.
What people like
- Fun interactive games on every page
- Beautiful classic illustrations are animated well
- Great value for only one dollar
What they complain about
- New narrator is annoying and bad
- Original Boris Karloff voice is missing
- Hard to figure out how games work
the book is ok
awesome book to read for christmas
NOT BORIS KARLOFF!!!?
You’ve got to be kidding me. The official Dr. Seuss app doesn’t have the Boris Karloff narration? I’d like a refund.
I LOVE THIS
I kind love it and it’s games! I watched a reboot movie from illumination when I was 4 or 3 tho. I hope my lil sis loves this! :)
Bring back the old narration!
My family loved the original narration. The new guy is fine, but it’s hard to replace the original.
Great app, but we don’t like the new narrator
The app is awesome and we love the interaction. Really well done! However, we are not a fan of the new narrator. The previous narrator was much more engaging and entertaining. We’ll hold off on updating the other Dr. Seuss story apps to avoid the unfortunate surprise of a new narrator.
It would be great if there were more
I too think it would be great if they had more apps like Did I Ever Tell You How Lucky You Are (Read and Play) I Can Read With My Eyes Shut (Read and Learn) Oh Say Can You Say (Read and Learn) If Possible Wacky Wednesday (Read and Learn) And many others
Won’t download
I have tried many times and this app will not download on my phone or iPad.

My son loves this app
Classic book / app!
This app is wonderful! This is my favorite Dr. Seuss book! The animations and play activities are fun! And of course the book itself is so iconic after nearly 70 years! The other Read and Play / Read And Learn books are great too! You should make even more like The 500 Hats Of Bartholomew Cubbins (Read And Play), Oh, The Thinks You Can Think! (Read And Learn), Oh Say Can You Say? (Read And Learn) And many others! Keep them coming!
Why did you change the narrator!?
My special needs child loves the Dr S treasury & these read & play apps. No joke, I think they get listened to at least 10x a day. If not more. But recently the narrator got switched for the Grinch Read & Play (which is kiddo’s favorite) and it was horrible! The new narrator is not nearly as good as the old one & there was no reason to change this. Please please change the narrator to the old one!!!!
Fun Activities but Narrator is Annoying...
I downloaded this app for my son as the Grinch is currently his favorite story. The illustrations are exactly the same as the book and are animated which is great. There are some decent settings as you can turn some functions on and off, however I almost requested a refund due to the narration of the story to be extremely annoying. If I knew it was going to be that bad, I would not have downloaded it. The original narration by Boris Karloff is a classic, this is an instant flop. I really hope for the next update (If any) they replace the narration. Overall; Design - ***** UX - **** Narration - * Activities - *** Illustrations - ***** Story - *****
really fun game!
okay i love this app. i was scrolling around, goofing off in the App Store, and i decided to scroll through the entertainment chart. number 3 was this app, and it had to be great if it was number 3 on the chart, and it looked pretty cool! so i bought it, and it’s amazing! i love tapping around on everything. super fun app, love it! i love the games in every page too! i think you should try and add a game every page, not just different pages where there is the same scene and it doesn’t give you a new game if it’s the same scene every page. good app! i recommend you get it and it’s amazing for a 1 dollar game! - from a dear reviewer, who loves dr. seuss ⭐️ 😊
Not original narrator
Anyone who knows this story knows the narration in the animated movie is the only true narration. So disappointed to hear someone trying to do a knock off version. It totally throws the feel of the story off. Put me out of the Christmas spirit. If you have kids, just stick to he old animated classic. Or better yet, read them the story. You don't need someone else's dad trying to do a voice for you.
It is the Grinch...
It's the Grinch so of course it's a good book but it's not read by Boris Karloff which is a little weird. When you've heard him do it so many times you can recite it yourself it's difficult to get used to someone else reading it ;-). But the app has some cute interactive things throughout it (both animated on the book pages and a few puzzles/games that bring you out of the book.). So overall it's a cute book app but I think Boris is too tied to the Grinch to have someone else read it (I'm sure there are enough recordings of him doing it to make it work.)
delicious!
Super fun and jolly. Merry Christmas!
So much fun!
Love this app

Disappointing. It is unclear how to open games and we are stuck with just a jigsaw.
