Horton Hears a Who

Summary: Even one little voice can tip the scale
Review: Regardless of ridicule, Horton stuck by his tiny friends he heard that could fit on a clover. He put up a horrible battle to save his friends and told them they needed to make themselves heard or they would be destroyed along with him, and he was doing everything in his power to protect them. "A person's a person, no matter how small", he kept saying as he went through each attempt of others to destroy him for his beliefs. Finally, it took one last "Who" from Whoville that was shirking that made the difference in being heard, that saved Horton and the village, just one more voice that was not speaking up, that when he was told to, and did,tipped the scales and saved the town and Horton. The animals that were going to destroy Horton for being "crazy", decided that from that day on they would be as loyal to the town of "Whoville" as Horton, and they realized that Horton was not crazy at all, but a very loyal and honest elephant who stuck by his beliefs, regardless of the awful things they had put him through for doubting him.

Summary: Seuss at the top of his game
Review: The best (in my opinion, of course) Dr. Seuss book. It has all of the music of his other writings, but (unlike some of his books) a compelling story as well. And what better message for your child to learn than "People are people, no matter how small."?

Summary: Not what you think
Review: This is not the beloved video that many parents may remember watching when they were kids. This is simply a bunch of cutouts prancing mechanically across the screen. OK, maybe, for a 2 year old, but pre-readers will not enjoy.
