Description/Notes
Horton has a heart, which he proves when he becomes protector to tiny living creatures residing on a speck of dust. The juxtaposition of his size to that of his wards is gratifyingly funny. And, 'a person's a person, no matter how small.' Clearly, Dr. Seuss's plea for tolerance was ahead of his time. The children's favorite elephant discovers a whole town of creatures so small that they live on a speck of dust. Other titles by Dr. Seuss: Horton Hatches the Egg (1940); If I Ran the Zoo (1950); If I Ran the Circus (1956); Yertle the Turtle and Other Stories (1958). Illus. in color. Horton, the lovable elephant, tries to protect tiny creatures on a speck of dust. An easy reader with delightful verse and pictures.
