Dr. Seussโ โHow the Grinch stole Christmas!โ gets a sequel. Recently there was speculation and a rumor saying Jim Carrey would return to the role of The Grinch for a sequel movie, fans asked what could it possibly be about as there is no direct sequel to โHow the Grinch Stole Christmasโ? Well, it looks like we have at least one solid answer to the rumors, there is a direct sequel coming out this holiday season.
From ABC News โDr. Seuss fans might find their hearts growing three sizes this coming holiday season with the release of a sequel to the 1957 classic childrenโs book โHow the Grinch Stoleย Christmas!โ
The new book picks up one year after the original, and like the first, teaches a valuable lesson about the true spirit of the holiday, Dr. Seuss Enterprises and Random House Childrenโs Books announced Thursday.
The sequel entitled โHow the Grinch Lost Christmas!โ is not based on a newly discovered manuscript by Seuss โ whose real name was Theodor Geisel โ but was written and illustrated by an author and artist with previous experience in the Dr. Seuss universe.

โOne of the most asked questions we receive from Seuss fans of all ages is โWhat do you think happened to the Grinch after he stole Christmas?โ said Alice Jonaitis, executive editor at Random House Childrenโs Books, in a statement.
The original Grinch book has sold nearly 10 million copies in North America alone and like other Seuss books has been translated into multiple languages. It was made into a 1966 animated TV special narrated by Boris Karloff, a 2000 live-action movie starring Jim Carrey and a computer-animated film in 2018 with Benedict Cumberbatch voicing the Grinch.
The new book, scheduled for release Sept. 5, is written by Alastair Heim and illustrated by Aristides Ruiz. Heim has written Seuss-themed books like โIf I Ran Your Schoolโ and โI Am the Cat in the Hat.โ Ruiz has illustrated the Cat in the Hatโs Learning Library books for more than two decades.
