Who doesn't love Max in The Grinch? He is the unsung hero. And so I loved seeing Max being "the protagonist." What would have been cooler would have been if this board book had been "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" but ENTIRELY from Max's perspective.

It definitely became a story about friendship. Which I guess is good too ;)

This is the story of the Grinch’s little unwitting cohort and long time companion….Max! You know...the cute little doggo that dons the reindeer antler in order pull the seriously overweight sleigh in a misguided attempt at stealing Christmas? Yep, that’s the pup! Max is here to tell us that while yes, the Grinch wasn’t always a happy fellow to be around, ever since that magical day, he’s been a delight! They play together, eat together, and just plain have fun together in more ways than ever before. It’s a delightful treat that pays homage to the original story, while letting readers back into Mt. Crumpit territory with characters we all know and love. You might find your own heart growing a size or two in delight!
