The Grinch turns 50!
To honor 50 years of How The Grinch Stole Christmas!, Random House Children's Books is publishing A 50th Anniversary Retrospective ($24.99) and Party Edition ($14). The Party Edition (pictured) is a limited-time, collectible foil-covered edition of the beloved Dr. Seuss book.
Since its original publication in 1957, How The Grinch Stole Christmas! has sold more than 5 million copies and is a best seller ever holiday season. Here's a 50th anniversary tidbit: While everyone thinks of the Grinch as being green, he actually started out black and white with pink eyes. It was in the 1966 TV cartoon that the Grinch took on green coloring. Available at local bookstores or online at randomhouse.com/kids.
