Story
As a boy, every Christmas Eve, my Scottish father, Big Don, introduced my brothers, sister and I to the spirit of Santa Claus by reading aloud "'Twas the Night Before Christmas". Inspired by this wonderous experience as a child, I have continued this family tradition by reading it to my own lovely children. I am forever grateful to Big Don for sharing his incredible gift for storytelling and hope that in some small way I may inspire your children to awaken their belief in Santa through my reading of this classic Christmas poem, written in 1822. Happy Christmas to you all!

Like every other hobbit, Bilbo Baggins likes nothing better than a quiet evening in his snug hole in the ground, dining on a sumptuous dinner in front of a fire. But when a wandering wizard captivates him with tales of the unknown, Bilbo becomes restless. Soon he joins the wizard’s band of homeless dwarves in search of giant spiders, savage wolves, and other dangers. Bilbo quickly tires of the quest for adventure and longs for the security of his familiar home. But before he can return to his life of comfort, he must face the greatest threat of all.

Featured Article: Tune in to the Best Christmas Movies Based on Books
What's just as satisfying—or maybe even better—than curling up under a blanket with a big bowl of popcorn and a mug of hot cocoa to watch one of your favorite holiday films? Listening to the audiobook that it's based on, of course! Many of the most memorable and iconic movies we watch every year during the holidays were inspired by books, some well-known and some eclipsed by the fame of their adaptations.

Enjoyable, but...
Having grown up listening to Boris Karloff's beautiful narration, Matthau's reading seemed strangely flat. However, the story is still as enjoyable as ever - a timeless classic!

Thanks to Dr Seuss!
Remembering and appreciating Walter Matthau as an actor, I got a kick from his rendition of this story. Not to take away from this, but Karloff’s has a special and permanent place in my heart; that TV show is required viewing every Christmas.
I think of this story every time I meet a person in real life whose heart is three sizes too small.
Only negative is whoever produced this version overdid the horns - they actually took away from Matthau’s performance and stepped (leaped) over the line into the demented range.

Christmas Classic to Share with Your Kids
Would you consider the audio edition of How the Grinch Stole Christmas to be better than the print version?
It is certainly a fun one to listen to on audio.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
We did listen in one sitting -- it is very short.
Any additional comments?
The audio isn't the best quality. And of course it is very short -- I wished it had been paired with other Christmas stories.
But I assume most folks know what they are getting with the Grinch, and this recording could save parents of younger children from repeat readings!

THE WARM LIGHTED WINDOWS
BORIS KARLOFF AND WALTER MATTHAU
As most people know, it is an excellent story. One all children should hear over and over. I grew up loving Walter Matthau, as most people my age have. I give the book and narration five stars, but I will have to admit that Boris Karloff, who did the cartoon in the 60's is a much better narrator. As there is not a Karloff addition offered, don't deny you children access to this great story and Matthau does a good job.

Great but...
Not quite as good as the book or movie. While still a fun listen, Walter Mathau's voice isn't as good as one might think or even expect for the character of the Grinch.
