Editorial Review:
Product Description:
Illus. in color by the author. It's the talk of the jungle when an elephant hatches an egg. Extravagant nonsense and rollicking verse.
Amazon.com Review:
Poor Horton. Dr. Seuss's kindly elephant is persuaded to sit on an egg while its mother, the good-for-nothing bird lazy Maysie, takes a break. Little does Horton know that Maysie is setting off for a permanent vacation in Palm Springs. He waits, and waits, never leaving his precarious branch, even through a freezing winter and a spring that's punctuated by the insults of his friends. ("They taunted. They teased him. They yelled 'How Absurd! Old Horton the Elephant thinks he's a bird!'") Further indignities await, but Horton has the patience of Job--from whose story this one clearly derives--and he is rewarded in the end by the surprise birth of... an elephant-bird. Horton Hatches the Egg contains some of Theodor Geisel's most inspired verse and some of his best-ever illustrations, the dated style of which only accentuates their power and charm. A book no childhood should be without. (Ages 2 to 7) --Richard Farr

HORTON HATCHES THE EGG, by the legendary Dr. Seuss, is my 3 1/2 year old's favorite Seuss book. She loves to pretend that she is the Mayzie bird - but a better Mayzie bird, who hatches her own eggs.

In HORTON HATCHES THE EGG, Mayzie is too bored and too lazy to hatch her own egg. She convinces Horton, an elphant who is faithful 100 percent, to ... Read More

Great story. My 2 year old daughter loves it almost as much as I enjoy reading it to her.

This is a lovely story about in my opinion the most lovable character of Dr. Seuss.
Horton agrees to take care of Mazie's egg and she never returns, but he sticks to his promise about caring for the egg no matter how many troubles it may bring him, and in the end is rewarded by the hatching of an elephant-bird.
Not only is it a beautiful story, with great rhymes, but it also teaches the importance of loyalty and perseverance to children. My son (3 1/2y.o.) got this story only ... Read More

& has for years. This is a good story that teaches a kid to "hang in there" when things are unpleasant. It also teaches about keeping promises, & the good things that can happen when you do.

Great story for children and grownups alike. Life lessons given in rhyming lines and adorable pictures. My grandson loved it and so did I!
