The Lorax is a picture book written by Dr.Seuss. The book is a great introduction to the environmental issue of Deforestation and Pollution. The abstract and unique poetry is targeted for kids but it is enjoyable to all ages. The story is based a greedy pig called Once-Ler. He is the antagonist of our story. The Once-Ler destroys the truffula trees, which creates a lot of problems like water pollution, air pollution and deforestation. Dr.Seuss makes fun tongue twisters. I recommend the book to not only kids but also young adults and teens. The tongue twisters are fun ways to learn about how the environmental issues affect us. The message I got from this book is not to selfish and be greedy. We have to look after each other.

Strong, powerful message it conveys, as the author re-imagines how in the future, we have to buy "fresh" air (what a scary thought!) and the people are still blissfully unaware about the impacts their lavish lifestyle has on the environment.

n  Another of the very best books by Dr. Seuss!n


n  IT'S NOT TOO LATE!!!n

n  UNLESS someone like you.n

n  cares a whole awful lot,n

n  nothing is going to get better.n

n  It’s not.n

This is one other of the best ever tales by Dr. Seuss.

Like, The Sneetches was crafted in the 60s, it’s not wonder that The Lorax was conceived in 1971, since it was the decade where ecology finally became a relevant issue in the conscience of people.

A powerful story showing in a very open way, how grimm will be our future (and sadly, forty-five years later, we are still in the same trouble) if we let that our woods would be lost without control at the expense of making stuff that we really don’t need or that we’d be able to supply in other ways.

But it’s not too late yet!!!

If each of us, make our contribution in one way or another, not matter how small, we still being able to help our planet’s nature, and then…

…the Lorax will return!

Dr. Seuss's longlasting appeal of fun rhymes and strikingly colourful pictures alongside important impactful messages still feel so relevant today.

The simple notion of an entrepreneur discovering a popular product through the Truffula trees.
Despite constant warnings from The Lorax, the man continues to alter the local ecosystem by chopping down more trees at a faster speed to quicken his profits.

The quirky fun works will instantly appeal to young readers, though its the colourful imagery that gets grey and grey that makes the most impact.
The damage done to the environment for capitalism is a heavy but profound message that highlights why these books are still so important for readers of all ages.

First of all,I have to tell you that I have always loved Dr. Seuss!! I haven't read this book for many years and I loved it all over again

A short story for children that aims to show them while keeping the entertaining and engaging aspect of the story, the importance of preserving and protecting the environment. It's still not the best of Dr. Seuss, but I think the message is out there and the idea is clear. In a period when children are focusing on everything that is digitized, these types of books could be useful for them in order to help them become interested in reading.

no sabía que un cuento infantil de 60 páginas podría tener ese nivel de profundidad

Personal Response
The Lorax was a really good book and my nephews loved it. My nephews are three and five and they thought it was a very silly book. They really liked the The Lorax, because the Lorax always said he was the protector of the trees. I thought this was a pretty good book for kids. It kept my nephews into the book, and I also had fun reading it.

Plot
There is a young boy who lives in a town that is full of pollution, and he wants to learn why the trees were cut down. The boy goes to Once-ler and gives him a few items to hear a story about the times when there were forests and clean air. He also talks about the protecter of the trees Lorax. Lorax seems to disappear after people start to cut all of the trees down.

Characterization
The Once-ler was a strange man who told the boy about the Lorax. The Lorax was the protector of the trees but disappeared after people started to cut down the trees. The boy was the one who got the last truffula seed and was given the task to plant it.

Impact of setting
The Boy lived in an old polluted town that didn't have any trees around, because people cut them down. The time was never specified on when it was. The Boy was usually outside talking to the Once-ler at night or later in the book when he was outside planting the tree. Then after the first tree was planted, others started to grow. After the trees started to come back, so did the animals and the Lorax.

Thematic connection
The thematic connection was compassion and forgiveness. The Once-ler was the reason the town and forest were polluted. He felt terrible about it but he wanted to make it better, so he gave the last seed away to a boy to try make things right.

Recommendation
I would recommend this book to everyone girls and boys. This book mainly targets kids that are one to six, but it is also meant for adults to read it. This book is a very easy read for an adult to read to a kid a kid. This was a great and funny book that I would recommend to read to a kid.

Dr. Seuss does an amazing job with rhymes and non-sensical words to create a powerful story about harming the environment in order to create more and more stuff. His message at the end calls each person to action by caring about the environment.

And FUCK THE HUMANS!!!!

Most People think for themselves
and have too much greed,
Many of us don't know
what we really need,
Maybe, you just have to take
a look at this book and read.

I read this book to my three kids. They loved the story, and I love the meaning behind the story.
