I admit that this thought also came to my mind; however, I think this is irrelevant regardless of your views on this issue. 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. Horton Hears a Who is one of the best children's books ever written. Children surely will have no concept of this. What a wonderful message for kids. 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.
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 teach preschool and I am able to find books and other resources on Amazon. I recommend using Amazon for your on-line shopping.Therese WoodNorthwest, Florida I needed the book fairly quickly and received it in a timely manner. I had no problems searching or ordering the book.
Thank-you for sending the books so fast. Some of the kids are sad that it is all done. Amazon is the perfect place to shop when you are looking for hard to find or older books.Thanks againSally 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.
It's whimsical story line will quickly grab the attention and interest of any child. I purchased this book for my grandson who is just beginning to read. I highly recommend it. It's impossible to improve on great literature like this. This Dr. Seuss book has become a classic.
But Horton is much more than that. 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 reminder of the importance of protecting those weaker than we and a timeless call for people to unite and speak up for themselves. Horton Hears a Who is a masterpiece. Often heralded as a book on friendship, it is much more than that.
