Lovely pop-up engineering combined with a classic children's tale
|
This book combines the classic Dr. Suess tale Horton Hears a Who with pop-up engineering. This is an extremely well done pop-up book. It has the complete original story supported by numerous (15) pop-ups. Several pages (5) are two full-page spread pop-ups. Three pages then have story cards, where there is an element of the tale on the outside of the card, and when you pull it down to read more, there is an additional pop-up.
The story itself is the beautiful tale of an elephant that hears a voice from a tiny spec of dust sitting on top of a flower. No one else can hear the voice and they torment him as a result. Horton eventually realizes there is a whole town in his little speck of dust. A mean bird flies away with his flower, speck of dust, and his friends, and drops them in a field of similar flowers. Horton perseveres, and eventually finds the correct flower.
Again the tormenting of Horton begins. So the town makes as much noise as they can so that others can hear. Finally, with the addition of a "Yopp" their voices break through. Now big kangaroo, and baby kangaroo vow to help protect everyone on the dust speck.
In traditional Suess manner the rhyming is almost melodic, and simply rolls off the tongue.
