The latest in this graphic novel series, which sees Dr. Seuss' characters embarking on new adventures, follows the green grump as he attempts a change of sceneryThe Grinch is confused to see everyone leaving Who-ville, until some Whos explain that they're going on vacation. The Grinch decides to see what all the fuss is about. Accompanied by his dog, Max, he visits a beach and a theme park, but, as his negative online reviews demonstrate, he finds the experiences irritating. Finally, at the ski slope, the Grinch notices some Whos rolling with the punches when their plans fall through. "Maybe a vacation isn't a place to go or a thing to do," he concludes. "Maybe it's the memories you make along the way." It's a lovely observation, but one that feels unearned, given how much the Grinch detests his own vacation memories: a crowded beach, disorienting roller coasters, scenic views blocked by clouds. Though the "Grinch out of water" premise is promising, the execution is lacking. While Vandorn offers appealing cartoon depictions of the various settings, from the solitude of the Grinch's local pond to the more populous tourist attractions, they lack the novelty and invention of Seuss' own wonderfully zany tales; it isn't entirely clear why the story needed to be set in the world of Seuss.An unsatisfying Seussian spinoff. (how to draw Max, character sketches)(Graphic fiction. 5-8)
