"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.

The Lorax is a good book. I like it but it gets sad at the end of the book. Everywhere else it is weird and very silly to me and that makes me love it a lot, but the move is better than the book.

I love The Lorax book and the movie they are both very creative and special and wants to promote people to do the three r's, reduce, reuse, recycle.It also want's people to not chop down lots of trees and that when you throw away paper there is a way to recycle paper so that we wont have to chop down all the trees.I love that they don't show the Onceler's face because it could be anyone that is filled with greed and money.

love this book so much, I watched both the movie and film adaptation and they were awesome. I decided to read the book and it was the same, AMAZING!!! Anyways, I love how it rhymes like all the other Dr. Seuss books. I love the style which it was drawn in and how real and alive the characters feel, I also love how it teaches a very important lesson on why it is important to care for the environment and protect nature and not be blinded by money, but it makes it in a kids story which makes it easier for kids and others to understand better. So in my opinion, I would have given this story a 10/10 but i can't, so I give it 5 stars!

I decided to read this book because I have seen the movie. It is interesting. I'd give four stars out of five because it wasn't like my favorite book, but I liked it. I liked how long it was, and I liked the pictures a lot. I liked the rhymes, too.

I love Dr. Seuss but The movie and the book are cringy

This book is AMAZING!!!! I recommend the movie and all the other Dr. Seuss books. Teaches you a great life lesson on caring for others and perseverance.

This is a very inspiring,funny and it's a little sad book.Dr.Seuss wrote this book because air pollution and water pollution was happening and the Earth was getting sicker,and sicker.Once-lor decides to make a business and make himself rich and famous.He didn't care if he cut down the Truffla tress,pollute the air and water.The Lorax tries hard to stop Once-lor but he just didn't care.I learned to take good care of the Earth by recycling and stoping pollution.I also learned not to be greedy like Once-lor.

THIS VERY BBOOK IS AMAZING MRS WRIGHT READ IT TO US AND LET US WATCH THE MOVIE THIS SHOULD REAAAAALLLLY TEACHER U A LESSON ABOUT NATURE ITS THE THNEED THNEEDS ARE THE MAIN SORES OF EVIL MONEY COMES OUT OF SELLING THEM SO THINK AND READ BUT WHAT EVER U DO DONT BUY A THNEED
