My favorite Dr. Seuss

Along with the "Giving Tree", this is my favorite children's book. I have three children, currently ages 8 1/2, 5 and nearly 3. Over the last 5 years, I've probably read this book well over 100 times and each time it continues to spellbind both me and the children. I began reading this to my oldest when he was three. And while the underlying theme of the book is not understood by a 3 year, by the time he was five, he started asking questions about what the book was about and now he understands the incredibly important lesson that Dr. Seuss had for us. It is amazing to think how far ahead of its time the "Lorax" was for both the simple lessons it can impart on its young readers/listeners and the very important and critical lessons for its adult/parent readers.

It is a true treasure for both child and adult alike.

The Lorax

An excellent childrens book! A great read for anyone who wants to promote conservation to childern.

This sad tale is wonderfully creative

Last week, in my Environmental Studies class, the teacher brought out this book and we had sotry time. Now, that is not normal in a University setting, but it was perfect. We'd read how Easter Island and other such places died out do to the over forestization of their small island. But nothing really gets the point across as well as Dr. Seuss can. We all giggled at first, but as the prose continued we all just listened. I have never seen a childrens book handle such a serious topic so well before. This is a fantastic book to educate youth on being environmentally concious, and I bet they'll remember the message into their adulthood decisions.

"Great green message for young and old"

I have read many Dr. Seuss books to my two five years olds and they love them. But this one is my favorite. Funny how I have never heard of or read it until a couple months ago. The message of this book blew me awayI had to flip to front to see when it was written1971! Dr. Seuss hit the environmental nail on the head way back 35 years ago. He usually has a message embedded in the silliness of his booksthis message is loud and clear.

Graphic SF Reader

In amidst all the funny looking groovy trees and fuzzy creatures there is a message. In this case, it is about ecology, use of resources, and the environment.

Or, listen to what the Lorax says when you are chopping stuff down and damaging things to make a quick buck, for he is wise.
