So have you ever heard of the Horton Hears A Who! by Dr. Seuss?   It is a cute story and my children also enjoyed the movie.  Not only is it a great plot and entertaining it also has a very pro-life message!

I found the following review of Horton Hears A Who! HERE:

"For those of you not familiar with the plot of Horton Hears a Who, it’s about an elephant who is made aware of an entire world of people living on a speck of dust.  Horton makes it his life’s mission to protect the little Who’s from disaster.  Because – as the catch-phrase goes – A person’s a person, no matter how small!
The pro-life message of HHaW is unmistakable.  And, for those who may not know, there’s actually another book with Horton – Horton Hatches an Egg, which is very pro-life too."


While writing this post, I just learned about the book Horton Hatches the Egg.  Maybe we'll add this book to our collection too.

Last week, a 16 year old homeschooler in our homeschool group organized and directed a week long drama camp at her house for 23 younger children in our homeschool group and guess what skit they performed this past Friday night as a closing for the camp?  Yep, Horton Hears A Who!

Each day at the camp the actors and actresses learned their lines and then they painted the props for the skit.  Below are some of the props that were painted.  The kids did a great job and had simple, but adorable costumes!  
After the 15minute skit, all the participants and their families and friends enjoyed a potluck supper and swam in a neighborhood pool!  Here are some yummy treats that were decorated with the Horton theme:

One of our moms carved an elephant (Horton) out of watermelon. So cute and clever!


Another mom hand drew Horton out of icing for this cookie cake:


In was a great drama camp week for all and I think the children and teenagers that were involved will always remember that "A person's a person no matter how small!"
