Sell Your Dr Seuss Horton Hatches The Egg 1st Edition

Horton Hatches the Egg is a children’s book written and illustrated by Theodor Geisel under the pen name Dr. Seuss and published in 1940 by Random House. The book tells the story of Horton the Elephant, who is tricked into sitting on a bird’s egg while its mother, Mayzie, takes a permanent vacation to Palm Beach. Horton endures a number of hardships but persists, often stating, “I meant what I said, and I said what I meant. An elephant’s faithful, one hundred percent!” Ultimately, the egg hatches, revealing an elephant-bird, a creature with a blend of Mayzie’s and Horton’s features.
