Add a Comment"Horton Hatches The Egg" is an absolute classic, and one of my favourites. Great rhythm, great story, great fun to read out loud.
I like the elephant bird. It is so cute. - Dannica, age 8.
WONDERFUL STORY OF COMMITMENT
A truly classic children's book, and even enjoyable for adults. A very happy book to read aloud in fifteen minutes.
The memorable tag line is in fact, "An elephant's faithful, one hundred percent."
Horton shows that kindness and loyalty can overcome all obstacles and that "An elephant's faithful, To the very end!"
