Third in the Dr. Seuss(R) Series. / Look for series verification 3 on this ornament. / What a predicament! Mayzie (that lazy / bird) told Horton the Elephant TM that she'd / be right back, but she never returned. / Horton sat on the little egg, and he say, and / he sat, and he sat--because, as he said, "An / elephant's faithful one hundred per cent." / Imagine his surprise when the egg finally / hatched and out flew a new kind of bird / with "ears and a tail and a trunk just like his!" / This set of Keepsake Ornaments recalls / their delightful rhyming tale, Horton Hatches / the Egg, by Dr. Seuss(R).
