Three stories by Dr. Seuss. In the first story, Horton the elephant hears a cry for help from a speck of dust and tries to protect the tiny creatures who live on it from other animals. In the second story, Horton is persuaded to sit on an egg while its mother, Maysie takes a break. In the third story, everyone takes advantage of Thidwick's kind heart, and soon he has most of the other animals nesting on the top of his head.
