A sequel to Dr Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas is set to be released in time for this year’s festive season.

It’s set one year after the events of the original and sees the Grinch aim to show all of Who-ville how much he loves Christmas by having the best Christmas tree in town.

But when things don’t go to plan he threatens to leave Who-ville for good, until one small Who shows him that Christmas isn’t all about winning.

How The Grinch Lost Christmas is expected to be published in September.
