First-Ever Nationwide Event Launches “25 Days of Grinch-mas,” Encouraging Kids to Grow Their Hearts Three Sizes by Doing One Kind Deed Each Day!
Barnes & Noble Corte Madera will host a free Grinch Day event on Sunday, December 1 at 1:oopm. Grinch Day celebrates everyone’s favorite grump, the beloved green curmudgeon from the Dr. Seuss classic, How the Grinch Stole Christmas! The festivities will include a Storytime, fun Grinch-themed activities and treats.
"We love the Grinch as much as our customers do,” said Laurel Kidd, Community Relations Manager, “which is why Barnes & Noble worked with publishing partner Random House Children’s Books to create an exclusive Barnes & Noble collectible edition of How the Grinch Stole Christmas! It includes the original book, plus an audio CD of actor Walter Matthau reading the story aloud."

Besides reading from the exclusive edition, booksellers will dazzle the little ones by demonstrating the special “Read & Play™” version of the book on NOOK® HD+, packed with pixels to deliver enhanced eBooks with stunning HD clarity. They'll also showcase additional Dr. Seuss books on NOOK, along with popular holiday apps including "Christmas Tree: Make & Decorate!” and “Find the Difference: Holiday Edition."
Grinch Day also launches the “25 Days of Grinch-mas,” a campaign encouraging children to “grow their hearts three sizes” by doing one good deed each day. Booksellers will provide children with a Grinch “Grow Your Heat Chart,” inviting them to draw a heart around each nice thing they do leading up to Christmas. Parents can fill in three of those good deeds on a postcard and mail it to Random House Children’s Books. For each postcard received, Random House Children’s Books will donate a new book to a child in need through literacy organization First Book.

"How the Grinch Stole Christmas! remains a holiday favorite because it’s a transformative story about giving and love,” added Laurel Kidd. “Grinch Day is a celebration of the shared experience between parent and child, author, reader, bookseller, and community. Listening to Dr. Seuss’s story being read aloud makes us want to work together to make the world a better place."
The Grinch Day event is free and open to the public. Barnes & Noble Corte Madera is located at 313 Corte Madera Town Center, Corte Madera, CA 94925. For further details, visit the Barnes & Noble Store Locator or contact Laurel Kidd at crm2274@bn.com.
