#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.

The book’s final pages teach us that just one small seed, or one small child, can make a difference.

Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not.

“I think it’s important for kids to read, and Dr. Seuss’s books are great ones to start with. The Lorax is a cautionary tale about a creature who regrets having ruined the environment after inventing the Thneed, ‘a Fine-Something-That-All-People-Need!’ It’s about production and consumerism, and to me, it has really good politics for a children’s book.”↗
