Book Reviews of Horton Hatches the Egg
Book Review: Enchanting and fun for all
Summary: 5 Stars
Horton Hatches the Egg is a wonderful tale for young and old alike. I read it as a child and now read it to my own children. I was the library coordinator for my child's first grade class and was having a very difficult time controling twenty two unruly kids. Horton to the rescue. The kids loved the tale of the faithful elephant shouting out each and every time that this elephant was faithful one hundred percent. You will love this book one hundred percent !Book Review: What? A Dr. Seuss tear-jerker?
Summary: 5 Stars
Well, not a tear-jerker for adults. But as a child, I would get furious at the moment Mayzie abandons her egg, compassionately sad with Horton through his many trials, and the surprise ending never failed to ellicit joyful cries.It's still a heartwarming tale to me, but filled, of course, with gorgeous illustrations and Seussical nonsense, though not anywhere near as much as One Fish, Two Fish or Green Eggs and Ham.
Book Review: A love letter to fathers and adoptive parents
Summary: 5 Stars
One of Dr. Seuss's best messages is convened in this book over and over again ~ "I did what I said and I said what I meant. An elephant's faithful one hundred percent." For anyone who ever needed a simple explanation of unconditional love, they need look no further than Horton. For a child Horton is the example of the parent who will be there for them no matter what. It's also one of my personal favorites...Book Review: faithful 100%
Summary: 5 Stars
As I kid I loved this book because I thought Horton was a pure wonder. I always loved the line "an elephant faithful 100%". And my little innocent heart took it all very seriously and I wanted to be just like Horton... faithful 100%. As an adult this book has taken on a very new stronger meaning that I did not see as a child... And I am very happy to be passing along the message to my children.Book Review: Horton Touches a Tender Heart
Summary: 5 Stars
This book can be looked at in a more adult way if we consider the need for adoption of many little-ones that need loving, dedicated true blue parents to become involved no matter what it takes and to weather the storms as they shelter the young. Good for you Horton. You are a blessing to me, keep on being faithful and true to your word, because an elephant's faithful no matter what.
