I admit that this thought also came to my mind; however, I think this is irrelevant regardless of your views on this issue. Horton Hears a Who is one of the best children's books ever written. Children surely will have no concept of this. It has everything - entertaining, fun writing, a memorable main character, good illustrations, and a good message. A few people have said that this story has an anti-abortion theme. They'll simply understand that Horton trusted his own mind and stood up for the "little" people despite the obstacles and nay-sayers in his path. What a wonderful message for kids.
I teach preschool and I am able to find books and other resources on Amazon. I needed the book fairly quickly and received it in a timely manner. I had no problems searching or ordering the book. The fact that there is no shipping and handling makes it more appealing to me as I don't always have the extra funds. I recommend using Amazon for your on-line shopping.Therese WoodNorthwest, Florida
Some of the kids are sad that it is all done. Our school did the musical Seussical this year, I bought all the books for the directors and some of the cast members. They did an awsome job and had alot of fun. Thank-you for sending the books so fast. Amazon is the perfect place to shop when you are looking for hard to find or older books.Thanks againSally
I purchased this book for my grandson who is just beginning to read. It's whimsical story line will quickly grab the attention and interest of any child. This Dr. Seuss book has become a classic. It's impossible to improve on great literature like this. I highly recommend it.
Theodor Seuss Geisel was an outspoken critic of Hitler and Mussolini, and Horton Hears a Who has been said to have been Geisel's call to support the fledgling democracy in Japan after World War II. Horton Hears a Who is a masterpiece. Often heralded as a book on friendship, it is much more than that. But Horton is much more than that. Horton Hears a Who is a reminder of the importance of protecting those weaker than we and a timeless call for people to unite and speak up for themselves.
