Full-color illustrations From the Publisher " UNLESS someone like you...cares a whole awful lot...nothing is going to get better...It’s not. " Long before saving the earth became a global concern, Dr. Seuss, speaking through his character the Lorax, warned against mindless progress and the danger it posed to the earth’s natural beauty. "The big, colorful pictures and the fun images, word plays and rhymes make this an amusing exposition of the ecology crisis."— School Library Journal. Illus. in full color. Store Review Jill from Chapters # 768, Richmond, BC This darker, moralistic story was one of Seuss's later works. Its message is important and timely. It is about a creature who comes to a peaceful land, sets up a factory, gets greedy and single-handedly destroys the environment. Seuss's moralistic tales -- see also Yertle the Turtle -- lack any subtlety at all, and occasionally the rhymes are contrived. But still, this book is beautifully illustrated, the kids enjoy it and it nicely ends on a hopeful note. Like Oh, The Places You'll Go, this book deserves to be a bestseller for all ages. About the Author Dr. Seuss was born Theodor Geisel in Springfield, Massachusetts on March 2, 1904. After attending Dartmouth College and Oxford University, he began a career in advertising. His advertising cartoons, featuring Quick, Henry, the Flit!, appeared in several leading American magazines. Dr. Seuss’s first children’s book, And To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street, hit the market in 1937, and the world of children’s literature was changed forever! In 1957, Seuss’s The Cat in the Hat became the prototype for one of Random House’s best- selling series, Beginner Books. This popular series combined engaging stories with outrageous illustrations and playful sounds to teach basic reading skills. Brilliant, playful, and always respectful of children, Dr. Seuss charmed his way into the consciousness of four generations of youngsters and parents. In the process, he helped kids learn to read. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1984 and three Academy Awards, Seuss was the author and illustrator of 44 children’s books, some of which have been made into audiocassettes, animated television specials, and videos for children of all ages. Even after his death in 1991, Dr. Seuss continues to be the best-selling author of children’s books in the world. Reader Reviews Average Reader Review: Number of Reviews: 3 1. A real life crisis Reviewer: Jennifer from Markham, Ontario Date: 3/30/2001 11:12:20 PM The book the Lorax by Dr.Seuss is a wonderful story about real life in a rhyming cartoon format. If the whole world read this book and understood its deeper meaning, I'm sure this world would be a cleaner and more beautiful place. The story describes problems such as water and air pollution and the problems with clear-cutting forestry. The word "unless" is one that we should all think about on a daily basis, because unless people care about the world we live in, nothing will change. Read this beautifully illustrated story to your children for enjoyment and a simple yet important moral. 2. The Lorax Reviewer: Lisa from Markham, Ont. Date: 1/24/2001 8:52:33 PM The Lorax was a terrific book. It made me look at the Environment in a different way. The bar-ba-loots were so cute. That darn Once-ler is sooo mean for killing the animal's habitats and pollution. I'm doing a Geography project on it. 3. A lesson we all could learn... Reviewer: Stacey Bourgeois from Mississauga, Ontario (ace@vaxxine.com) Date: 9/20/2000 3:55:40 PM This book is my favourite of Dr. Seuss' work. I have read it so many times and each time it has touched me. It's a good story for anyone to read since it mocks us and our need for dumb gadgets and gizmos at any cost (even the destruction of the environment). One thing, a friend lost my original copy and I noticed they took out a line: "I hear things are just as bad up in Lake Erie." Did anyone else notice this?
