森林里天真可爱的大象霍顿快乐地享受着每天无忧无虑的生活。但突然有一天，一个惊人的发现，彻底改变了它的生活，乃至它在所有动物眼中的可爱形象。一粒微小的浮尘上的“呼呼镇”的居民过着安逸的生活，突然有一天它们被一颗果实撞击，整个“小世界”被抛上了天空，漂后在了一支粉色的苜蓿花上。而来自这个“微小的世界”里的微小的求救声居然被身材肥硕的大象霍顿听到。由此霍顿深信这颗“小灰尘”中有生命存在，并以它自己的方式与小世界里“呼呼镇”里的“镇长”进行了别有情趣地交流。为了拯救这颗灰尘里微小世界的居民，霍顿决定冒着被所有动物嘲笑的现实，顶着“幻想症患者”的恶名，面对邪恶多难的地理环境和满肚子坏水的秃鹰，誓要将“呼呼镇”送回属于他们的世界…… "widows: 2; text-transform: none; background-color: #ffffff; text-indent: 0px; display: inline !important; font: 12px/26px 宋体, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; white-space: normal; orphans: 2; float: none; letter-spacing: normal; color: #404040; word-spacing: 0px;"> Surely among the most lovable of all Dr. Seuss creations, Horton "font-size: small;">"color: #000000; font-family: Times New Roman;">Horton hears a Horton the kindly elephant has his work cut out saving the
Surely among the most lovable of all Dr. Seuss creations, Horton the Elephant represents kindness, trustworthiness, and perseverance--all wrapped up, thank goodness, in a comical and even absurd package. Horton hears a cry for help from a speck of dust, and spends much of the book trying to protect the infinitesimal creatures who live on it from the derision and trickery of other animals, who think their elephant friend has gone quite nutty. But worse is in store: an eagle carries away the clover in which Horton has placed the life-bearing speck, and "let that small clover drop somewhere inside / of a great patch of clovers a hundred miles wide!" Horton wins in the end, after persuading the "Who's" to make as much noise as possible and prove their existence. This classic is not only fun, but a great way to introduce thoughtful children to essentially philosophical questions.

内容推荐Horton hears a who!讲述了一个令人感动的故事。感动之一源于它所传达的关于生命平等和保护弱小的观念。无论多么微小，每个生命都有其生存权利，都应该受到尊重和保护。同样，无论多么微小，每个生命也都有存在的价值和意义。正是因为加入了乔乔——这个呼呼城最小的人的声音，呼呼们的叫喊才最终被大家听到。这个故事有一个温馨的结尾，那只曾经和妈妈一起嘲笑过霍顿的小袋鼠，最终也加入了守护呼呼的队伍，它用自己尚还稚嫩的小手，为这些生命撑起了一把明亮的小伞。希望每个成人和孩子在合上这本图画书的时候，在深深感动之余，也都能珍爱和保护周围的每一个生命，不管它多么微小。

作者简介
Theodore Seuss Geisel -- better known to millions of his fans as Dr. Seuss -- was born the son of a park superintendent in Springfield, Massachusetts, in 1904. After studying at Dartmouth College, New Hampshire, and later at Oxford University in England, he became a magazine humorist and cartoonist, and an advertising man. He soon turned his many talents to writing children's books, and his first book -- And To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street -- was published in 1937. His greatest claim to fame was the one and only The Cat In The Hat, published in 1957, the first of a successful range of early learning books known as Beginner Books.
