Synopsis
Mayzie is a flighty bird who just wants to have fun, so it's not that surprising that she finds sitting on an egg in her nest quite dull. Fed up with waiting for her egg to hatch, Mayzie longs for a vacation--but whom can she dupe into minding her egg while she searches for adventure? Luckily, Mayzie happens to meet the perfect egg-sitter: a loyal, sweet tempered elephant named Horton. After promising Horton that she'll be right back, Mayzie takes off--leaving poor Horton to sit on her egg through rain, snow, and sun. Teased by his friends, captured by hunters, and forced to appear in a traveling circus, Horton still manages to keep his word and faithfully mind the egg. A story of patience rewarded, HORTON HATCHES THE EGG shows both the positive and negative sides of keeping one's word. B&W illustrations, highlighted with bright greens and reds, accompany the text. Horton the elephant also appears in HORTON HEARS A WHO.

Publisher's Note
It's the talk of the jungle when an elephant hatches an egg. Extravagant nonsense and rollicking verse. Full-color illustrations.

      Horton Hatches the Egg by Dr. Seuss (1966)
    Review created: 08/08/06
    7 of 7 people found this review helpful.

    My two oldest daughters had a Christmas morning tradition at their grandparent's house every year of reading this touching and amusing story of how the love and devotion of a "mom" to be will carry "her" through some very trying times to get the baby "she" cherishes so much .

    I have actually had this book in my own daycare for only about a year, and the older kids love to read it when they can sit down and enjoy it with no interruptions from a younger child.

    Horton works very hard through rain and shine to hatch an egg he promised to care for. He didn't quite realize the long hours and hard work it would end up being, but he follows through with his promise until the very end.

    This book has a bit lengthy story line to it, so it's excellent for children with a longer attention span, at least 3-5 minutes. The cartoon type illustrations are quite catchy, and much of the text is rhythmical. Since some is quite repetitive, the kids know what to say about Horton numerous times by the end of the book.

    I would highly recommend this book for anyone who works with older children or those with a longer attention span.

    Thank you for taking the time to read my review, and I hope it's helpful in your decision whether this book is right for you.

    Sincerely,

    Mrs. skywalker_track

    Horton is just the most lovable elephant you will find in the world of Dr. Seuss and luckily for us there are two books in which we can enjoy the silly antics of this elephant in the classic style of Dr. Seuss rhymes.

    In this book, Horton shows us that an elephant is faithful 100%.

    In our family the clever rhyming holds the attention of our young kids, so like many of the Dr. Seuss books, this is a great one to read aloud.
