Horton Hatches the Egg

Horton Hatches the Egg is the Dr. Seuss classic that first introduced Horton the Elephant, an iconic character beloved for his kindness and loyalty. In this comic classic, a kind-hearted Horton agrees to sit on a lazy bird's egg, a task for which he leaves his home in the jungle and is taken to sit in a circus. Throughout his ordeal, Horton famously declares his commitment: 'I meant what I said, and I said what I meant. . . . An elephant's faithful, one hundred per cent!' Told with Dr. Seuss’s signature rhymes and trademark illustrations, the tale sees Horton's integrity rewarded with a delightful surprise ending. The story is ideal for sparking discussions about kindness, values, and loyalty.
