<P> Whoville is a fictional town created by author Theodor Seuss Geisel, under the name Dr. Seuss . Whoville appeared in the books Horton Hears a Who! and How the Grinch Stole Christmas! However, there were significant differences between the two renditions . </P> <P> The exact location of Whoville seems to vary depending on which book or media is being referenced . According to the book Horton Hears a Who!, the city of Whoville is located within a floating speck of dust which is then placed onto a clover flower by Horton the Elephant . In the book How the Grinch Stole Christmas!, the location of Whoville is never mentioned . Further, in the 1977 television special Halloween Is Grinch Night, additional geographic features are added to Whoville such as Punkers Pond . Again, however, its greater location is not mentioned, but in both works it can be assumed Whoville is still located within its speck on the clover . </P> <P> In the 1970s television special Horton Hears a Who! as well as the 2008 CGI - animated film of the same name, Whoville retains its literary location being within a speck on a clover flower . The 1966 television special How the Grinch Stole Christmas! also stays true to the literature . </P>
