The plot/summary: The original story book, Horton Hears a Who!, is about an elephant. Horton finds a speck of dust. The residents of Who-Ville live on it. Horton, a very responsible elephant, assures the Who-Ville mayor of their safety and places the dust on a clover head. Now, the other animals cannot hear the little Whos. They believe the elephant is batty and they are mean to him by stealing the clover; they plan to destroy it. Horton goes through many obstacles to regain the clover head and ensure the tiny Who-Ville citizens’ safety.
