Horton Hears A Who
By Dr. Seuss
In this Dr. Seuss classic, Horton is an elephant from the Jungle
of Nool who hears a noise coming from a tiny speck of dust. He wonders if there
is someone on the speck, someone so tiny that they cannot be seen, in need of
his help. Indeed, it is soon revealed that this is the case. His jungle friends
and neighbors doubt the existence of Horton’s new friends, the Whos. So great
is their persecution and mockery of what they do not understand that Horton and
all speck-life are threatened by the small-mindedness of those around him. This
book will help children recognize that friends come in all shapes and sizes.
They will align themselves with Horton and understand that he is doing the right
thing by standing up for the Who’s, even if it is against what everyone around
them believes.
