OKLAHOMA CITY (KOKH) — On Tuesday, Thunder player Cason Wallace read students Dr. Seuss' "How the Grinch Stole Christmas!".

Wallace visited Putnam City's Will Rogers Elementary to read and distribute free copies of the book to a group of students during a Reading Timeout in partnership with American Fidelity Assurance Company.

Wallace also signed each student's copy of the book and answered questions.

"I never had that growing up so just to be that role model for them was great... I was glad that I could share that moment with them," said Wallace.

This event is part of the Thunder's 16th season of Holiday Assist.
