Book Reviews of Horton Hatches the Egg
Book Review: A Lesser Known Horton
Summary: 5 Stars
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. Ever since we first read this story, she keeps a basket of Easter eggs nearby that she sits and sits on, trying to be a good bird and hatch.
In HORTON HATCHES THE EGG, Mayzie is too bored and too lazy to hatch her own egg. She convinces Horton, an elephant who is faithful 100 percent, to egg-sit for just a short while. But, Mayzie is gone for nearly a year, and our faithful Horton sits on that egg come rain, shine, snow, hunters, kidnapping, and the ridicule of his friends. And in the end, he is justly rewarded for his hard work and faithfulness.
Only Theodor Geisel can tell a story like Dr. Seuss. Kids and adults alike are drawn to his weird and whimsical characters, and his wonderful, meaningful messages. His tales are all told in rhyme and are pleasing to the ear and the tongue - perfect for reading aloud.
HORTON HATCHES THE EGG is a lesser known work of Dr. Seuss, but my daughter and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND it. It is a great lesson about faithfulness, trust, and doing a job well. And a whole lot of fun, too!
