Horton Hatches the Egg

Horton Hatches the Egg by Dr. Seuss

When one little bird needs a little rest from sitting on her unhatched egg all day, she asks non other than a giant elephant named Horton. He agrees and once she flies off he takes his place a top the tree, and on top of the little egg. Nothing stopped him from getting of of that nest, not rain, snow or even the men who came and took him away, tree, nest and all. He was taken across the world and put on display for all to see. As soon as the mother bird saw him she swooped down just in time to want her little baby bird back, but what hatches takes everyone by surprise. This is another one of my favorites because of Horton's lovable character and his dedication to help others. This book would be great for children who might not want to do all of the hard work to gain something, but just want it all to be given to them. A great lesson for all.
