Horton Hears a Who! by Dr. Seuss | Goodreads

Now a major film, Horton Hears a Who! is a hilarious picture book in verse from the world-famous Dr Seuss. Horton is an elephant who takes his responsibilities of caring for smaller people very seriously. Reading this book together with your child will reinforce the need to care for other people and encourage less confident children to believe that it's okay to speak up for themselves. Smith, Amanda (28 April 2004). "Dr. Seuss: Icon and Iconoclast..." Book Talk. Radio National . Retrieved 15 December 2013. Attractive illustrations and exciting verse – both very dynamic, always moving always going somewhere new; both very strange, silly and bizarre – all in an extremely accessible, engaging and compelling (and let’s not forget educational) way – which creates Dr Seuss’s fantastically immersive world. Horton Hears a Who was SO much better than our puny one-channel B&W TV with 7 hours of dull community programming - anyday! And you know what? The Big-Hearted elephant with Ears of a matching size (ears so acute and friendly they can detect a whole beleaguered Microdot Civilisation of Who's) still delights us and the little kids around us who may be hearing his story for the very first time.How do you know if somebody knows what you know? Just because you think you know something, does that mean others know it too and agree with you? Condition: Gut. UK Import. Gebrauchs- und Lagerspuren.

DISCLOSURE: I own my copy of Horton Hears A Who by Dr Seuss. All opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own personal opinions. The story raises questions about the nature of human knowledge and what is necessary to justify a claim to have knowledge of something. These issues are discussed in the philosophical field of epistemology. Epistemology investigates the theory of knowledge, specifically its origin and nature. We may know something but sometimes find it difficult to explain why; we may know something to be true when others know it to be false. Epistemology engages in trying to help us explain why and how we identify our knowledge.some poor little person who's shaking with fear That he'll blow in the pool! He has no way to steer! I'll just have to save him. Because, after all, A person's a person, no matter how small.\" This shows the importance of individuality and the significance of life. It is all about respect, understanding and acceptance. Look through the text and find different synonyms for ‘said’ (e.g. humpfed, chatting, bellowing, snapped).

Questions for Philosophical Discussion

Why does the kangaroo tell Horton that she didn’t hear any voices and he didn’t either? Why does she think he didn’t hear any voices? When Sally and her brother are left alone on a rainy day, they think they are in for a dull time - but then the Cat in the Hat appears. I don't want to spoil it for those that haven't read the book yet, but can I just say how much I LOVE this story! The movie adaption is also brilliant. Among my favorite lines are "I said what I meant and I meant what I said, an elephants faithful 100%" and "A person's a person no matter how small." Now being a huge pro-life person my self, I see this story as totally pro-life. The whole plot is about the Who's really existing; but they're voices being too small to be heard. In the end, it's the one small voice that makes a difference and saves the day. How perfect is that? Horton Hears a Who shows what happens when people unite, and the miracles that can happen when we believe and choose to hear what science would have believe doesn't exist and isn't possible.
