Book Review - 'Horton Hears A Who!' by Dr. Seuss

2022 EDIT: Good message, just not much else about it that interests me now. I also fully realise just how sexist Dr. Seuss's books are, or at least male was always seen as the default way back when. For a book about different kinds of voices needing to be heard, where are the female Whos?! But one can still enjoy dated kids' books, I suppose. It's entirely up to you.

Final Score: 3/5





Original Review:



Another fun Dr. Seuss classic with an important message ("Listen to those who may be smaller than you", "Anyone can be friends", "No one is invisible", "Don't dismiss anyone as mad or nonexistent from your own narrow-minded perspective", "Protect those who can't protect themselves", and "Every voice matters"). I was surprised by how dramatic 'Horton Hears A Who!' is. Creative, dynamic, and funny, a worthy children's fable.

Final Score: 4/5
