Horton Hears a Who and Other Horton Stories

This book delights me! The best pop-up I've seen, it combines a story I love with these wonderful little pop-up worlds.This version of Dr. Seuss's story is much more than a simple pop-up book. Many pages have multiple pop-up images. Scenes that include chains or ropes -- such as the one where the Wickersham gang of monkeys try to put Horton in a cage, or when Who bricklayers are hanging off the side of a building -- are created with actual strings that connect the various pieces of paper. Some pages have flaps with more pop-ups inside. There are also pieces you can manipulate -- you can turn the hands on the Whoville clock and rotate a wheel so that a Who repairman hammers a nail. Every element is printed on sturdy paper that's about the thickness of a business card. The result is a feast for the eyes and fingers that will hold up to lots of use.The Dr. Seuss tale is a touching classic, about an elephant named Horton that is determined to help tiny creatures because "a person's a person, no matter how small."David Carter is a master paper engineer, designing 75 pop-up books before this one.

This is already one of my favorite Dr. Seuss stories of all time but in this particular edition/rendering it is simply magnificent!! Each page has something to delight the eye and mind even further than the beloved storyline. Children and adults can thoroughly enjoy the sliding scenes, the lift tabs, the beautiful pop-ups.Are you looking for a very special gift book for a very special child (or adult who embraces his or her inner child quite happily)? Then here is the perfect choice for you...worth every penny you will spend. Great story; great attention to detail; great graphics; great FUN!!!

This is a very well made pop up book. I never read the story so the book was much longer than I was expecting. Lots of fun flaps and pop ups my daughters love, though I get nervous about them ripping it as some of them are pretty intricate.

Kids love Horton!

Love this. Write a message in it for my son when he gets older. Not for very young children. Very intricate pop ups

Totally delighted with this book! Can't believe how much detail goes into the pop-up features. And for a pop-up book that has been handled by small children to be in this good of condition is a rare thing.

My son really enjoys the pop out images and gets very excited about the book. Keep in mind it is paper so you have to monitor how they interact with the back.

This is a very innovative and creative book. The artistic value along with a great story, keeps my son wanting me to read this book every night. It is great to see that David A. Carter keeps the story intact while providing beautiful pop-ups. Just make sure you're child is old enough not to destroy the pop-ups as you read.

Really lovely book I bought as a present. The story and the rhymes I really like! Kids really like it too Delivery was smooth and in good packaging.

Every child should read this book!

Spassoso e acuto, per bambini ma irresistibile anche per i grandi. Ottimo per imparare l'inglese divertendosi

Excellent pop-up, David Carter fait toujours parti des meilleurs concepteurs de pop-up. A posséder pour tous collectionneurs. A chaque page c’est un plaisir.

Much loved birthday present
