Has there ever been a better hero than Horton, the kindly elephant whose huge ears allow him to detect a cry of help from the tiny Who-ville? No matter how cruel and uncomprehending the other animals in the Jungle of Nool may be, Horton will not allow his tiny new friends to be dropped into boiling Beezelnut Oil. I hope that kindergarten teachers everywhere still use Horton's story as a teachable moment. In fact, it wouldn't hurt any of us to be reminded that "a person’s a person, no matter how small."
