Chatting Books Online Year 2, Day 62, Today's recommended book is another Seuss favorite from my own childhood. This one is : Horton Hears a Who ! by Dr. Seuss.
As with all Seuss books I love the bouncy, rhyming nature of this book that makes it a joy to read out loud (sometimes you might like to read it out loud even when alone, just saying...). And as with all Seuss books there is both a story and a message. In this one Horton the elephant hears a sound coming from a dust speck and discovers an entire town so small it fits on a tiny speck of dust. That town is in peril and needs Horton's protection but as he endeavors to save them no one believes they exist and try to thwart Horton's help. So Horton gets every Who in Whoville (whom we will meet again in The Grinch who stole Christmas) to make all the racket they can to be heard because as he tells us " A person's a person. No matter how small" .
