Dr. Suess was a genius! And the Lorax is worth reading again regardless of whether you are 8 or 80. It's always good to have a reminder of our responsibility to the environment.

My daughter and I love the Lorax book- I've always read to her and made up stories for her and she now creates them herself! She wrote and illustrated a wonderful ABC book and I self published that (it's my favorite one along with Dr.Seuss's ABC book, too!). She also has a finished fun poetry book and now I just need a good publisher. working on that! If you'd like to see her website it's:

as far as the Lorax goes, I want to know what the sweet smell of fresh butterfly milk smells like! I imagine it must be enchanting:) I always felt so bad for the Lorax in a virtually helpless situation. But it's nice there's hope at the end. There's always hope, isn't there? :)

I love the Lorax! "I am the Lorax I speak for the trees!" I think it is a very effective book/film for introducing environmentalism to children. I always make sure to sit in with the kids at camp when they watch it. Always remember *Unless*

Great book! Excellent way to instill a sense of respect for the environment. I truly enjoyed it. Dr. Seuss is pure genius!

Ah yes, the poor truffular trees! I've read it to my kids many times when they were younger. We used to have it on a video too.

Yes, I've read it, but it's been a long time. I love all of Dr. Seuss' books!

It's great just like Charlotte's web. Both contain a message and both are well-written.
