A sequel book to Dr. Seuss's beloved 1957 classic How the Grinch Stole Christmas! is set to come down the chimney later this year.

Dr. Seuss Enterprises and Random House Children's Books announced the new publication on Thursday.

Titled How the Grinch Lost Christmas!, the story will pick up one year after the first ended and carries a lesson for children regarding the spirit of Christmas, according to a report.

It will tell the story of the Grinch attempting to prove his love for Christmas by winning Who-ville's Christmas Crown by presenting a spectacular Christmas tree, the report noted.

It is not inspired by any freshly discovered writings by Dr. Seuss, who was born Theodor Geisel.

Instead, the sequel is a fresh story written and illustrated by an experienced crew within the Dr. Seuss universe consisting of author Alastair Heim and illustrator Aristides Ruiz, according to the report.

"One of the most asked questions we receive from Seuss fans of all ages is 'What do you think happened to the Grinch after he stole Christmas?'" Alice Jonaitis, the executive editor at Random House Children’s Books, said in a statement.

The work is set to hit shelves on Sept. 5, the report noted.

"All throughout writing the story, I couldn't fully believe that I was actually getting to play in the amazing creative sandbox Dr. Seuss created all those decades ago," Heim said.

"When I heard of the opportunity to be a part of this project, I jumped at the chance only to find that it was difficult and daunting to approach adding to or expanding such an esteemed and treasured part of the American Christmas canon," Ruiz shared.
