I love it too! It took me some time to realize that Dr. Seuss's books are actually loaded with important messages. I think this one has the best message of all.
Y'know, The Lorax did keep the Seussian economy going for quite a long time.
you know, if you enjoyed about this book about taking care of the environment and want to read about other moral messages...read the sneetches!
Did anyone else's high school econ class watch/read the Lorax for class?
Econ? What, did you study it as a completely one-sided, incomplete presentation of how economic systems actually work? Or did you analyze it as an example of the Tradgedy of the Commons? Interesting article on that:http://commonsblog.org/archives/00049...
I LOVE this book!!!!!!!
Favorite Dr. Seuss book ever.
Dr.Seuss=awesomeness

When I was growing up my Grandpa used to read The Lorax to me anytime I was at his house, which was pretty often. I've considered getting a little Lorax as a tattoo because the book is so near and dear to my heart. :)
We learned the story of The Lorax sophomore year of high school- I loved it so much! Dr. Seuss is a timeless genius.
This one is my favorite as well. I honestly loved the trees for some reason. Out where I live we had green trees that looked just like the trees in Dr. Seuss books and we called them Lorax trees. I was very sad when they cut them down a few years back since they were the only trees I had ever seen like them.

I hope the movie is going to be as good as the book!! The trailer looked great!
The Lorax is an awesome book!
In the news: The world’s largest trader of palm oil recently announced it will launch a No Deforestation, No Peat, No Exploitation policy, a broad environmental and social pact that features a commitment to no deforestation and free, prior informed consent when dealing with indigenous communities.
