Horton Hears a Who! by Dr. Seuss

4.0

Most certainly one of my favourite Dr. Suess books. It's such an important lesson that far too many grown-ups don't seem to understand today. Horton is so very brave to stand up to the nonsense and help the tiny voices be heard.

One day while cooling off in the pool, Horton hears a noise coming from a speck of dust leading to an unexpected friendship. Led by a mother kangaroo, the jungle animals begin mocking Horton and threaten the safety of the people on the tiny speck. 

Horton Hears A Who was my 1954 read for my 2024 decade challenge and I love sharing this classic tale with my kids! Horton is such a sweet and gentle character, it was fun to see how much my kids got into it!

This book is perfect for children. Parents, I highly recommend this book. I mean, who doesn’t love a good Dr. Seuss book?

I read it as part of a reading for the children at my old elementary school. It was fun to go back to books that I have since forgotten.

Also, it is a great book, and the writing is perfect for children of all ages.
