1: A Lesser Known Horton
HORTON HATCHES THE EGG, by the legendary Dr. Seuss, is my 3 1/2 year old's favorite Seuss book. She loves to pretend that she is the Mayzie bird - but a better Mayzie bird, who hatches her own eggs. Ever since we first read this story, she keeps a basket of Easter eggs nearby that she sits and sits on, trying to be a good bird and hatch.
In HORTON HATCHES THE EGG, Mayzie is too bored and too lazy to hatch her own egg. She convinces Horton, an elphant who is faithful 100 percent, to egg-sit for just a short while. But, Mayzie is gone for nearly a year, and our faithful Horton sits on that egg come rain, shine, snow, hunters, kidnapping, and the ridicule of his friends. And in the end, he is justly rewarded for his hard work and faithfulness.
Only Theodor Geisel can tell a story like Dr. Seuss. Kids and adults alike are drawn to his weird and whimsical characters, and his wonderful, meaningful messages. His tales are all told in rhyme and are pleasing to the ear and the tongue - perfect for reading aloud.
HORTON HATCHES THE EGG is a lesser known work of Dr. Seuss, but my daughter and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND it. It is a great lesson about faithfulness, trust, and doing a job well. And a whole lot of fun, too!

2: love it
Great story. My 2 year old daughter loves it almost as much as I enjoy reading it to her.

3: Teaching about loyalty and perseverance
This is a lovely story about in my opinion the most lovable character of Dr. Seuss.
Horton agrees to take care of Mazie's egg and she never returns, but he sticks to his promise about caring for the egg no matter how many troubles it may bring him, and in the end is rewarded by the hatching of an elephant-bird.
Not only is it a beautiful story, with great rhymes, but it also teaches the importance of loyalty and perseverance to children. My son (3 1/2y.o.) got this story only yesterday and he already loves this book. So do I.

4: Dr. Suess rocks
& has for years. This is a good story that teaches a kid to "hang in there" when things are unpleasant. It also teaches about keeping promises, & the good things that can happen when you do.

5: I Love Horton
Great story for children and grownups alike. Life lessons given in rhyming lines and adorable pictures. My grandson loved it and so did I!
