Horton the Elephant Who Hatched an Egg and Heard A Who
Horton the Elephant is featured in two Dr. Seuss books, the first "Horton Hatches an Egg" and the second, "Horton Hears a Who." "Horton Hears a Who", the new feature film produced by Blue Sky Studios and released by 20th Century Fox started March 14, 2008.
Horton the Elephant is a good character that can be used with the Horton books or films to teach children about friendship, kindness, loyalty, patience, persistence and tenacity. With his expression that "a person's a person, no matter how small" children can learn about kindness and of being careful with little things, whether they are little children or littler things like bugs.
Since the first Dr. Seuss book was written in 1937 by Theodor Seuss Geisel (who wrote under the pen name of Dr. Seuss) the many different Seuss books have sold over 20 million copies worldwide, been translated into fifteen languages and several made into television programs or featured films. The Horton books are consistently among the top-selling of all Seuss titles generation after generation.

Horton Hears a Who - Started March 14, 2008
"Horton Hears a Who" is about an imaginative elephant who hears a cry for help coming from a tiny speck of dust floating through the air. Suspecting there may be life on that speck and despite a surrounding community which thinks he has lost his mind, Horton is determined to help.

On the fifteenth of May, in the Jungle of Nool...
On the fifteenth of May, in the jungle of Nool,In the heat of the day, in the cool of the pool,
He was splashing...enjoying the jungle's great joys...
When Horton the elephant heard a small noise.
So Horton stopped splashing. He looked towards the sound.
"That's funny," thought Horton. "There's no one around."
Then he heard it again! Just a very faint yelp
As if some tiny person were calling for help.
"I'll help you," said Horton. "But who are you? Where?"
He looked and he looked. He could see nothing there
But a small speck of dust blowing past though the air.

- An elephant's faithful one hundred percent.
- A person's a person, no matter how small.

no matter how small.

I tried to talk my husband into going, but with seven kids it would cost a small fortune. Alas, the IRS is also requiring a slightly larger fortune this year. So, I guess we will be waiting for the DVD.

I'm not a big fan of Dr. Seuss, but my daughters love his books, and are going today actually. It should be a good movie with all the characters in it.
