What was the Dr. Seuss story about an island protected/surrounded by trees that protected it from the sea ?

Question

I think it was Dr. Seuss, and I know it's NOT the Lorax. The trees were in danger from something the people were doing and if the trees died the sea would rush in. {Kinda like our ozone layer}

Answer 1

The King's Stilts? The trees were threatened by the Nizzards.
