Description
The Lorax is the original eco warrior, and his message still resonates today in this fable about the dangers of destroying our forests, told in the trademark rhyme of the irrepressible Dr. Seuss.
“Mister!” he said with a sawdusty sneeze, “I am the Lorax. I speak for the trees.”
The Lorax is a hilarious and timeless story featuring the trademark humour and silly rhymes of Dr. Seuss. It delivers an ecological message without feeling heavy-handed or preachy. The Lorax, as the original eco warrior, tries to save the Truffula trees from the greedy Once-ler’s axe. The Dr. Seuss blend of zany pictures, unique rhyme, rhythm, and repetition ensures that all ages will learn from and love this wonderful book.

About the Author
Theodor Seuss Geisel – better known to millions of his fans as Dr. Seuss – was born the son of a park superintendent in Springfield, Massachusetts, in 1904. After studying at Dartmouth College, New Hampshire, and later at Oxford University in England, he became a magazine humorist and cartoonist, and an advertising man. He soon turned his many talents to writing children’s books, and his first book – And To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street – was published in 1937. His greatest claim to fame was the one and only The Cat in the Hat, published in 1957, the first of a hugely successful range of early learning books known as Beginner Books. In all Dr. Seuss wrote more than 40 children's books during a career that spanned over 50 years, picking up numerous awards, including two Emmy awards for television and a Pulitzer Prize Special Citation along the way.
