Protecting the Environment 4

The Lorax

Dr. Seuss

Published in 1971, The Lorax is an ecological warning that still rings true today amidst the dangers of clear-cutting, pollution, and disregard for the earth's environment. In The Lorax, we find what we've come to expect from the illustrious doctor: brilliantly whimsical rhymes, delightfully original creatures, and colorful illustrations. (72 pages, ages 4-8)
