Synopsis
Who needs a ladder when you've got a giraffe with an extending neck? The
Ladderless Window Cleaning Company certainly doesn't. They don't need a
pail, either, because they have a pelican with a bucket-size beak. With a
monkey to do the washing and Billy as their manager, this business is destined
for success. Now they have their big break - a chance to clean all 677 windows
of the Hampshire House, owned by the richest man in all of England! That's
exciting enough, but along the way there are surprises and adventures beyond
their wildest window-washing dreams.

4. How the Grinch Stole Christmas!
Author: Louise Gikow
Buy it from Amazon
Editorial Reviews:
Synopsis
Here is a digest-size novelization of the hip, live-action hit movie of the Dr.
Seuss classic How the Grinch Stole Christmas!, starring the one and only Jim
Carrey as the Grinch.
The movie script goes beyond the events of the stolen Christmas, all the way
back to the beginning in Who-ville--where the Grinch grew up--and explains
how and why he came to hate Christmas so much that, finally, one year, he had
to stop it from coming. Told in the first-person voice of the Grinch himself, this
is rib-ticklingly funny, irreverent, and ultimately touching. This is the movie--
and the movie tie-in--of the holiday season.
An eight-page full-color photo insert is included.
