Horton Hears A Who!: Yellow Back Book (Dr Seuss - Yellow Back Book)

Product Information

UPDATE: I just ran across a Guzer video story of a real man who can neither read nor write but who creates ultra-miniature sculptures which are smaller than the eye of a needle. He began to do this because when he was young, his teachers made him 'feel small'. The significance not to mention the charm of Horton Hears a Who! lies in the universality of smallness. Everyone knows what it is like to have been or felt small at some time in his or her life. For children it is where they still are. For adults, it may be a painful memory or a desire to protect their own children. But smallness invites protection, caring, compassion. Smallness needs to be heard. I was very surprised this did not have a scary rating. There are many scary aspects in this film. The kangaroo is very mean. There is a mob scene that is terrifying to my 5 year old. He is very sensitive but this movie had some really scary parts. Fensch, Thomas (2001). The Man Who Was Dr. Seuss. Woodlands: New Century Books. ISBN 0-930751-11-6. Now a major film, Horton Hears a Who! is a hilarious picture book in verse from the world-famous Dr Seuss. Horton is an elephant who takes his responsibilities of caring for smaller people very seriously. Reading this book together with your child will reinforce the need to care for other people and encourage less confident children to believe that it's okay to speak up for themselves.

In the fifties, my Mom was head librarian for our small-town library (politically, we were termed a Police Village, whatever that meant).The timeless classic from the iconic Dr. Seuss – now available in ebook, with read-along narration performed by Miranda Richardson. Enjoy this classic tale of a big-hearted elephant anytime, anywhere! Give an example of something you know but that you can’t justify with your senses. How did you come to know that thing? In May of 1954, Life published a report concerning illiteracy among school children. The report said, among other things, that children were having trouble to read because their books were boring. This inspired Geisel's publisher, and prompted him to send Geisel a list of 400 words he felt were important, asked him to cut the list to 250 words (the publishers idea of how many words at one time a first grader could absorb), and write a book. Nine months later, Geisel, using 220 of the words given to him published The Cat in the Hat, which went on to instant success. And the way we felt at the end of a long summer’s day was much like the warm feeling we get now after reading a very good book. A sense of being close to our roots and to our Creator... Along with that of 'The Lorax' (2012) - the animated adaptation of 'Horton' (2008) provides us with the only two examples where cinema has got anywhere close to capturing the wonderful world of Dr Seuss.

Horton Hears a Who! - Wikipedia

JoJo McDodd is Ned and Sally's only son and tritagonist of Horton Hears a Who!. As the oldest child, he's next in line for being the Mayor of Whoville. I don't want to spoil it for those that haven't read the book yet, but can I just say how much I LOVE this story! The movie adaption is also brilliant. Among my favorite lines are "I said what I meant and I meant what I said, an elephants faithful 100%" and "A person's a person no matter how small." Now being a huge pro-life person my self, I see this story as totally pro-life. The whole plot is about the Who's really existing; but they're voices being too small to be heard. In the end, it's the one small voice that makes a difference and saves the day. How perfect is that? Horton Hears a Who shows what happens when people unite, and the miracles that can happen when we believe and choose to hear what science would have believe doesn't exist and isn't possible. I was first introduced to the story of Horton Hears a Who last year in an apologetics class. Since then I haven't been able to get enough of it. When I found out they were making a movie from the book I was completely thrilled! It didn't even matter if they messed it up, even though I knew they wouldn't, so long as they were making a movie of it! some poor little person who's shaking with fear That he'll blow in the pool! He has no way to steer! I'll just have to save him. Because, after all, A person's a person, no matter how small.\"

Not sure when I first read this, but I still love it! In fact it's my favorite by the good doctor. Apparently there's a movie out of it now which is pretty good.

The Whos try to make themselves heard but the kangaroo denies hearing anything. Finally, the Whos try again, and they are heard! The Whos are finally heard. Is hearing believing? Do you have to hear, or see, or feel something to believe it or know it’s true?

Horton finds the Whos on the three millionth clovers. Can you make up some Maths problems that include the number 3,000,000? Geisel began work on Horton Hears a Who! in the fall of 1953. It is his second book to feature Horton the Elephant with the first being Horton Hatches the Egg. The Whos would later reappear in How the Grinch Stole Christmas!. The book's main theme, "a person's a person no matter how small", was Geisel's reaction to his visit to Japan, where the importance of the individual was an exciting new concept. [5] Geisel, who had harbored strong anti-Japan sentiments before and during World War II, changed his views dramatically after the war and used this book as an allegory for the American post-war occupation of the country. [6] His comparison of the Whos and the Japanese was a way for him to express his willingness for companionship. Geisel strived to relay the message that the Japanese should be valued equally, especially in a stressful post-war era. [7] He dedicated the book to a Japanese friend. [8] Plot [ edit ]
