 Timely again Nov 02, 2009
You know the story, and the lesson. It's essentially an environmental cautionary tale, and the rhythm of the poetry is pretty good (like most real Seuss). Just be aware, the moral is pretty heavy, as the story is told after devastation is wreaked across the land. Older young kids might find the story sort of sad.

It came at a very reasonable time. I was surprised by how quickly it came. They did not lie about the condition. It was in beautiful condition.

 Good not great Jul 23, 2009
This is an excellent children's book with all of the elements that you like to see: fun, playful writing; excellent, colorful illustrations; and a good moral to the story. My only problem with this book is that the Lorax, while well intentioned, doesn't really do anything. He complains a few times about the destruction of the environment and its effects on the local inhabitants, but he takes no action and just allows the environment to become completely trashed. I think this book would've had a better message if the Lorax had taken a stronger stand coupled with real action.
The Lorax May 05, 2009
Dr. Seuss teaches us how critical it is to care for the environment in this riveting, rhyming masterpiece!
"The Lorax" is one book I always have in my teaching bag as I go from school to school, especially in the Spring, when Earth Day comes near. The other I always bring is "The Sneetches", that teaches brotherhood and fairness. I always read it to the kids at school for Dr. King's birthday. Many of Dr. Seuss's books hold a special life lesson for the readers, young and not so young. "Horton the Elephant" teaches us to keep our word and be steadfast, "The Butter Battle Book" shows the stupidity of war, for just two examples out of many.
One more I always have with me is "The Jester Has Lost His Jingle" by David Saltzman. The lesson is "It's Up To Us To Make A Difference, It's Up To Us To Care." Also," Laughter Is Hiding Inside Each Of Us". David wrote this beautiful, engaging picture book when he was suffering from non Hodgkins Lymphoma as a senior at Yale. After he died, his mother and dad had it published and started an amazing non profit, "The Jester and Pharley Phund". This organization benefits hospitalized children, promotes literacy at public and private schools, and imparts David's beautiful spirit and his lesson of love and laughter to every reader.
All of these books make us better people and a more beautiful society. They are all not to be missed in the education of our young.
What a great book for today`s children May 05, 2009
I had forgotten just how good,..and sad this book was. I purchased it for my 3 year old because he loves Seuss but found that my 5 year old enjoyed it even more. I had forgotten the details of this story and bought it to add to our Seuss collection. It is a cautionary tale about greed and pollution but leaves room for hope if even one person takes action. This book is a classic but the message is more pertinent now then ever. It has become one of our favorites.
