Editorial reviews

Why we think it's Essential: I could talk a bit about Dr. Seuss' mastery of verbal wordplay, or how he awakens the kid in all of us, but let's face it: he's just plain fun. And that has never been truer than when he is read here by Dustin Hoffman. With two collections of celebrity Seuss reads available, we had plenty of great choices, but Hoffman's endearingly persistent Horton earned him our vote. Give a listen and try not to smile. — Ed Walloga

Incredible rendition

Dustin Hoffman is the perfect narrator for this whimsical and heart wrenching classic. His narration is silly enough to be enjoyed by children but doesn't seem in the least condescending or irritating, in the way so many children's audio books can.

I purchased this book for a 3 year old who is incredibly high-energy and he will sit or play quietly while he listens to this on repeat! He will even ASK to listen to it! I highly recommend it for any child and to any parent who wants 15 minutes of quiet without having to plop their child in front of the TV.

Audio books are a great way to introduce your children to the world of reading and spoken word and this classic book is an excellent place to start!

Perfect for kids and adults alike!

My daughter enjoys the audiobook. We have the physical book and she follows along. She has some hearing issues and our audiologist suggested audiobooks. Thank you audible.

I have always loved Dr Suess but wow i never really realized how vicious this book was. Dr Suess wrote about bullying before it became such a big problem in the US.

I loved the narration. my grandkids were invovled in it.

Dustin Hoffman really brought this to life

I loved listening to this book. I never knew that Dustin Hoffman could do so many different voices. This along with the music to set the tone, should be very entertaining for young girls and boys. Definetly listen to this version before watching the movie. I LOVED IT!

What did you love best about Horton Hears a Who?

The story is great on its own, but Mr. Hoffman's voice surely brings it to life. My 3-year old loves hearing it over and over, and knows it almost all by heart.

Excellent performance!
