#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Celebrate Earth Day with Dr. Seuss and the Lorax in this classic picture book about sustainability and protecting the environment!
I am the Lorax. I speak for the trees.
Dr. Seuss’s beloved story teaches kids to treat the planet with kindness and stand up and speak up for others. Experience the beauty of the Truffula Trees and the danger of taking our earth for granted in a story that is timely, playful, and hopeful. The book’s final pages teach us that just one small seed, or one small child, can make a difference.
Printed on recycled paper, this book is the perfect gift for Earth Day and for any child—or child at heart—who is interested in recycling, advocacy, and the environment, or just loves nature and playing outside.
Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not.

My favorite book ever. Raises kids to be environmentally conscious.
Can you really go wrong with a Dr. Seuss book?
Great quality hard cover book no complaints!
This is one of my favorite books from my childhood so I wanted to have an English copy.For those who don’t know it’s a unique book who among other things teaches about saving the environment and being thoughtful to others. It’s a great lesson.
I love this book. It is a really great message to teach kids and the artwork is really colorful and whimsical. I read it to my baby so she can hear words and look at the pictures, but obviously for understanding the story this is better for older kids.

This story was a gift for a friend who had never read it. The book manages to be both entertaining and meaningful as well as has visual appeal. It carries an important message about caring for our planet and the consequences if we do not. My friend loved the story and its meaning
Dr. Seuss is the best at taking complex issues like environmental degradation and making them simple for everyone-what a gift!

One of our favorite Dr suess books with so much lesson and meaning behind it. Bright beautiful illustrations throughout. Great addition to our home library. A good lesson that all of our actions, the good and the bad, have the power to affect not only ourselves, but all of those around us.

This book is still relevant and children still enjoy it. Good way to explain the connections between corporate greed, mindless consumerism, and ecological issues to children in a non-scary or preaching way. I love all the made up words and rhymes too.This is just miles better than the movie that added in so much to make it movie length.

The Lorax by Dr. Seuss is one of my favorite childhood books. I bought it for the Kindle and just finished reading it again. The story still holds up. It's a great lesson about protecting the environment geared towards young people.

This was a gift for my grandson and he loves it.
Definitely his darkest book. Seuss’ illustrations were always weird and goofy but here they border on surreal, least in the opening and closing pages.I read that some people think that it’s too gloomy or preachy to resonate with kids. Well, I remember reading it thirty-five years ago and being moved, and today my 3 year old daughter actually took a break from running in circles to listen entranced for the whole thing.Incidentally, I haven’t seen the film, but I can’t help but feel a little saddened that the Once-ler has been transformed from a faceless green-handed nightmare figure to a hunky boy in a fedora.
