Horton Hears A Who!
Plot
The book tells the story of Horton the Elephant who, in the afternoon of May 15 while splashing in a pool located in the Jungle of Nool, hears a small speck of dust talking to him. It turns out the speck of dust is actually a tiny planet, home to a city called ho-ville, inhabited by microscopic-sized inhabitants known as Whos and led by a character known as the mayor.
The Whos ask Horton the elephant (who, though he cannot see them, is able to hear them quite well) to protect them from harm, which Horton happily agrees to do, proclaiming throughout the book that ven though you can see or hear them at all, a person a person, no matter how small. In doing so he is ridiculed and forced into a cage by the other animals in the jungle for believing in something that they are unable to see or hear. His chief tormentors are Vlad Vladikoff, the Wickersham Brothers and the Sour Kangaroo. Horton tells the Whos that, lest they end up being boiled in eezelnut Oil, they need to make themselves heard to the other animals. The Whos finally accomplish this by ensuring that all members of their society play their part. In the end it is a ery small shirker named JoJo whose final addition to the volume creates enough lift for the jungle to hear the sound, thus reinforcing the moral of person a person, no matter how small.
Now convinced of the Whos existence, Horton neighbors vow to help him protect the tiny community.
Adaptations in other media
Horton Hears a Who! was adapted into a half-hour animated TV special by MGM Animation/Visual Arts in 1970, directed by Chuck Jones (who also directed the television version of How the Grinch Stole Christmas), produced by Theodor Geisel, and with narration by Hans Conried. In this direction, the Sour Kangaroo's name is Jane, while her son is named Junior. In Russia, Alexei Karayev directed I Can Hear You in 1992, a 19-minute paint-on-glass-animated film which is based on the Russian translation of Seuss's poetry but features a very different visual style. The story also provides the basic plot for the 2000 Broadway musical Seussical.
Horton Hears a Who! was made into feature-length film in 2008, using computer animation from Blue Sky Studios, the animation arm of 20th Century Fox. It was released on March 14 2008. Jim Carrey voices Horton, and Steve Carell voices the Mayor of Who-ville.
Horton Hears a Who! also includes Thidwick the Big-Hearted Moose as part of the Dr. Seuss Video Classics series.
Story characters in other media
A reference to the character is also made by Tim Minchin in his beat poem Storm.
The Sour Kangaroo, her child, and the Wickersham Brothers also appear in The Wubbulous World of Dr. Seuss, as well as Horton himself and his son Morton the Elephant-Bird from Horton Hatches the Egg.
Horton is one of the main characters in the Broadway play Seussical. The Sour Kangaroo and the Wickersham Brothers are part of an "evil gang". This leads into Vlad Vladikoff getting the clover who drops it in a clover patch.
The Whos also appear in How the Grinch Stole Christmas! and Halloween is Grinch Night. The live-action The Grinch movie reinforces the idea that the Whos are microscopic by showing that the events in How The Grinch Stole Christmas! actually took place within a snowflake, but the 1966 animated TV special, like the original book, never mentions their size.
A reference to the novel is also made in a seventh-season episode ("Love Blactually") of the TV series Family Guy, when Stewie finds a book at the library titled Horton Hears Domestic Violence In The Next Apartment And Doesn't Call 911, which involves a man beating his wife while Horton overhears the whole thing while reading a book in his apartment saying, "I'm sure there's two sides to this".

Use in the United States abortion debate
The book (most notably Horton the Elephant's recurring phrase "a person's a person, no matter how small") has found its way to the center of the recurring debate, in the United States, over abortion. Several pro-life groups have adopted the phrase in support of their views. Geisel himself did not approve of these groups co-opting the phrase, nor does his widow, Audrey Geisel, who "doesn't like people to hijack Dr. Seuss characters or material to front their own points of view." According to Geisel biographer Philip Nel, Geisel threatened to sue a pro-life group for using his words on their stationery.
