Used to read to my kids. I liked better than all the other Dr Suess books. Would give to any parent with kids.

A person's a person. No matter how small.

Horton Hears a Who! is a good story about standing up for what you believe is right as that's exactly what Horton is doing to protect the Whos.
It shows just because you can't hear something someone else can hear that it's wise to judge them and make them feel terrible about it! And Horton is totally the opposite to that. He is a loving character who sees everyone as a person no matter their size.
I think teaching about equality and treating animal/people with respect is so important and I definitely think that's what I get from reading this book.
Unfortuantely I'm not a big fan of the illustrations and thought the story would be a bit more fun and more story telling in it hence why I'm giving it 3.5 stars.

I loves this book. It's adorable. I love the movie as well. Dr. Seuss is one of the best writers of all time!

"A person's a person, no matter how small." So true. An elephant tries to save microscopic creatures living on a speck while an angry kangaroo attempts to kill them.

Currently one of Liam's favorites. As with all of Seuss's work, it is delightful to read, wonderful to look at, and important to consider.
