Horton Hears A Who! is a heartwarming story about an elephant named Horton who discovers an entire town living on a speck! No one believes Horton, but that doesn't stop him from believing! Horton makes it his mission to find the infinitesimal town of Whoville, a safe place to reside. Horton famously says, "A person's a person, no matter how small." Isn't that the truth? What a great message to pass along to our students. Besides being a great moral lesson, the book can be implemented into a kindergarten or first grade classroom in so many different ways. You and your students can make an anchor chart listing all the wonderful character traits of Horton, providing evidence from the book. For Dr. Seuss week, you could use the book to inspire a whole host of creative writing in your classroom.
