Horton Hears a Who is a great book by Dr. Seuss. It was written in 1954 and was produced into a major motion film 54 years later in 2008. This is one of my favorite Dr. Seuss books. In the book Horton an Elephant hears a noise as a very small dust speck fly's by him. He puts the speck of "dust" on a clover because he is just sure that there is someone in it; although his friends think that he is crazy he decides that he is responsible for it and must protect it. As you read you find out that it is not only one person on that speck, but a whole town called Who-ville. The main point that Horton continues to make is "A person's a person, no matter how small."
The book and the movie are a lot alike with very few differences. One thing in the movie that was neat was that it had a narrator who read parts of the book from time to time. The movie focuses a little more on Who-ville and the people who live in it than the book does (I guess this helps to make the movie a little longer because it is a small book).
