A double dose of Horton

See all formats and editions

This new paperback edition brings together two adventures of the loveable elephant Horton: Horton Hears a Who and Horton Hatches the Egg. With his unique combination of hilarious stories, zany pictures and riotous rhymes, Dr Seuss has been delighting young children and helping them learn to read for over fifty years.

Creator of the wonderfully anarchic Cat in the Hat, and ranked among the UK's top ten favourite children's authors, Dr. Seuss is a global best-seller, with nearly half a billion books sold worldwide. Horton Hears a Who:Horton the kindly elephant has his work cut out saving the tiny Whos who live on a speck of dust - no one else believes they are there!

But Horton eventually convinces everyone that 'A person's a person, no matter how small'! Horton Hatches the Egg:Everyone laughs when Horton the Elephant offers to sit on Mayzie bird's egg while she goes on holiday.

Horton's kindness and faithfulness are sorely tested when he, and the egg, are kidnapped and sold to a circus - but his reward for being faithful is more wonderful than he could ever have dreamed!
