Got Me Through A Rough Patch

Would you consider the audio edition of Horton Hatches the Egg to be better than the print version?

Not necessarily because my father read this to me when I was in the hospital at age 7 with appendicitis.

What other book might you compare Horton Hatches the Egg to and why?

Green Eggs and Ham

Yes I listened to it all at once.

Any additional comments?

Commitment story

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, it's a good story for kids and adults. Mr. Crystal does a good job with the different parts. It took a moment to adjust hearing his voice do this. A nice surprise!

Not sure

Have you listened to any of Billy Crystal’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This was my first one

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes

Any additional comments?

I used this book with my kids class at church. Keeping commitments thru thick or thin.
And to have it read by Mr. Crystal made it extra special.

Horton

Enjoyed this book when I was younger, enjoy it now that I'm older. Dr Suess was always teaching us some of life's lessons. Billy Crystal is the narrator and he does a good job at it.

I think the best part is when the egg hatches.
