    About The Lorax

    Celebrate nature with Dr. Seuss and the Lorax in this classic picture book about protecting the environment!
     
    I am the Lorax. I speak for the trees.
     
    Dr. Seuss’s beloved story teaches kids to speak up and stand up for those who can’t. With a recycling-friendly “Go Green” message, The Lorax allows young readers to experience the beauty of the Truffula Trees and the danger of taking our earth for granted, all 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.
     
    “Pretty much all the stuff you need to know is in Dr. Seuss.” –President Barack Obama

    About The Lorax

    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.
