Incredible rendition

Daughter and I loved it. Background music, sound effects, etc. really make it a memorable experience

Perfect for kids and adults alike!

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!

A Story That Somehow Never Gets Old

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.

I Hear A Who

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!

You can never go wrong with Dr. Suess. The narrator and sound effects add to the storie's enjoyability.

Horton Hears A Who!

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.

Excellent performance!

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.
