William is taking a bath, and his mother tells him not to run the faucet more than a minute longer. But when his brother Walter tries to make the water come out faster and the handle breaks off, William is in for a wild ride down the whole apartment building!
This one is absolutely hilarious. As William and the bathtub go from floor to floor, the downstairs neighbors are swept into the current and join the fun. The neighbors’ names and their “boats” all rhyme. For instance, “Patty Fuzzle steered her puzzle.” I still read this one!

A poor old man and his wife want something other than turnips to eat, so they trade socks made from the man’s sweater to their neighbors for milk and cheese.
There’s not much to say about this one, except that it’s a short, fun book with a delightful ending.

Horton the elephant hears a small call for help from a speck of dust, and concludes that tiny people live there! However, a sour kangaroo doesn’t hear as well as Horton, and ridicules him. And then she decides to make him boil the speck in beezle-nut oil. Horton and the Whos must prove that the Whos do exist, before it’s too late.
Go Horton! He’s the all around nice guy sort and is willing to help anybody in trouble. Oh, and I might add that I still read Horton.

A lazy bird named Mazy is tired of sitting on her nest and trying to keep her egg warm, so when Horton the elephant comes along, she begs him to take care of her nest and egg. Horton finally agrees and Mazy flies off for a vacation at the beach. But Horton’s friends laugh at him, and hunters come and capture him and the tree with the nest with the egg. (And the green grass grows all around, all around, the green grass grows all around…) But Horton stays faithful, one hundred percent.
This is a great book. It’s humorous and rhyming. Please read this book!
