About How the Grinch Stole Christmas! in brief
The Grinch first appeared in a 33-line illustrated poem by Dr. Seuss called \”The Hoobub and the Grinch,\” which was originally published in the May 1955 edition of Redbook magazine. The story was published as a book by Random House in 1957, and at approximately the same time in an issue of Red book. The book criticizes the commercialization of Christmas and the Christmas holiday. It has been adapted as a 1966 animated TV film narrated by Boris Karloff. In 1977, a Halloween prequel titled Halloween Is Grinch Night aired. It was then followed with a 2000 live-action feature film starring Jim Carrey, a 2018 computer-animated film starring Benedict Cumberbatch, a 2007 musical, and a 2020 live television adaptation of the musical starring Matthew Morrison.

He wrote the book quickly and was mostly finished with it within a few weeks. In May 1957, the book was finished and sent to the Random House offices in New York City. By mid-May 1957, it was in the mail and published in both a book in Random House and an issue in Redbook.
