Summary: Horton the Elephant vows to keep watch over an egg until the mother bird (Mayzie the lazy) returns. After many trials and difficulties, the egg starts to hatch, but who will be the true parent? Horton, who sat faithfully by the egg for months, or Mayzie who laid it?
Butterfly’s notes: This is one of my absolute favorite books to read aloud. There is something so unbelieveably loveable about the character Horton!
