The Lorax is the original eco warrior and his message still rings loud today in this fable about the dangers of destroying our forests, told in the trademark rhyme of the irrepressible Dr. Seuss.

“Mister! He said with a sawdusty sneeze, I am the Lorax. I speak for the trees.”

The Lorax is a hilarious and timeless story with the trademark humour and silly rhymes of Dr. Seuss, that packs a punch with its ecological message without feeling heavy-handed or worthy. The Lorax is the original eco warrior as he tries to save the Truffula trees from the greedy once-ler’s axe and the Dr Seuss blend of zany pictures and unique rhyme, rhythm and repetition mean that all ages will learn from and love this wonderful book.

As part of a major rebrand programme, HarperCollins has relaunched 17 of Dr. Seuss's best-selling books, including such perennial favourites as The Cat in the Hat, Green Eggs and Ham and Fox in Socks. In response to consumer demand, the bright new cover designs incorporate much needed guidance on reading levels, with the standard paperbacks divided into three reading strands – Blue Back Books for parents to share with young children, Green Back Books for budding readers to tackle on their own and Yellow Back Books for older, more fluent readers to enjoy. The Lorax belongs to the Yellow Back Book range.

Review

Praise for Dr. Seuss:
“[Dr. Seuss] has…instilled a lifelong love of books, learning and reading [in children]” The Telegraph

“Dr. Seuss ignites a child’s imagination with his mischievous characters and zany verses” The Express

“The magic of Dr. Seuss, with his hilarious rhymes, belongs on the family bookshelf” Sunday Times Magazine

“The author… has filled many a childhood with unforgettable characters, stunning illustrations, and of course, glorious rhyme” The Guardian

About the Author

Theodor Seuss Geisel – better known to his millions of fans as Dr. Seuss – was born the son of a park superintendent in Springfield, Massachusetts, in 1904. After studying at Dartmouth College, New Hampshire and later at Oxford University in England, he became a magazine humorist and cartoonist and an advertising man. He soon turned his many talents to writing children’s books and his first book – ‘And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street’ – was published in 1937. His greatest claim to fame was the one and only ‘The Cat in the Hat’, published in 1957, the first of a successful range of early learning books known as Beginner Books.

Reviewed in India on 24 October 2015

Excellent book. It is very deep and kids can understand some aspects of it. I generally like Dr Seuss for his rhyming words and imaginary characters. This book is different and its message is extremely relevant in our world. It shows how a simple ambitious boy finds a pristine place and starts a business using the resources there. By apathy, callousness and pure corporate greed he completely destroys the place and the company itself has to leave the place and move on. It leaves with the message that unless someone like you wakes up and does something about it nothing will change. This simple message is put very effectively and with style and technique which very few authors have accomplished in their entire lives. This is one of the gloomy dark stories of Dr Seuss. For tongue twisters my 3.5 year old son loves ``Fox in Socks", for simple stories he likes ``Horton Hatches an egg". He even loves A.B C by Seuss.

Several of Dr Suess stories are based on his social and political views. I feel this is probably his best executed literary work.

If you are planning to give it as a birthday gift to other kids, you should consider their age and background.

Oh! The One Who Speaks for the Trees

Reviewed in India on 10 September 2013

Verified Purchase

A fantastic book from a brilliant wordsmith.
I love all the books by Dr. Seuss and enjoy reading
them out to my three-year old son. He loves The
Cat in the Hat and The Lorax, both famous works
by Dr. Seuss.

The writer is a fine rhymester, creating lovely, musical
lines. Read this one:

"Mister!" He said with a sawdusty sneeze,
"I am the Lorax. I speak for the trees.
I speak for the trees, for the trees have no tongues.
And I'm asking you, sir, at the top of my lungs,"
he was very upset as he shouted and puffed--
"What's that THING you've made out of my Truffula tuft?"

I recommend all the books by Dr Seuss -- they are available for
different age groups -- as their reading will develop a love for
words and language at an early age.

We must thank God for Dr. Seuss and his books.

A classic. Child has to be a little older to appreciate the story. For toddlers, there are other Dr. Seuss books more age appropriate.

This book can be read by kids of 8-9 years and above. But my 4 year old daughter love to hear this story from me. I too enjoy telling it to her. Weird but rhyming names of animals, trees and other things are attractive to kids.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS EDITION -- The publisher has messed it up terribly

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 June 2015

Verified Purchase

I could not be more disappointed in the publisher's choice to drastically alter this story for this publishing. I purchased this book for our son and hoped to receive the same story I had been read as a child, but huge chunks of the narrative have just been heavy-handedly deleted, along with the lovely illustrations which once accompanied those sections. Many of my favourite moments of the original are altogether missing, and the characters and story have lost so much of their texture and personality, it's a terrible shame. It should be more clearly stated on this page that the book is abridged. Not only abridged, but abridged much to its detriment I'm sad to say.

Furthermore, what illustrations are left have been awkwardly and often clumsily cropped into new dimensions, cutting out masses of Seuss' original drawings and generally messing up what used to be lovely balanced and detailed compositions. If you're buying this book for the art as well as the story, you should know that this book just wrecks the half of the illustrations which haven't been cut out entirely.

Please find yourself a complete copy and experience this book the way Dr. Seuss intended. I'm horrified to imagine what the author would think of this blundersome hack-job edit of one of the great children's masterpieces.

EVERYBODY needs a Thneed!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 October 2017

Verified Purchase

This is a lovely book - kooky Seuss charm and some strong environmental and commercial messages. It's about as subtle as a brick through a window, but kids often like clear messages, and my son has definitely picked up on them! It's sparked some great conversations in our house and the characters are strong, interesting and flawed, which is still not that common in a children's book.

Revisiting this book as an adult, you realise that it's a very well-written story about family, commercialisation, the environment and redemption (I mean, it's not "Of Mice and Men", but you know...). It's one of the Seuss books that's more appropriate for older children. Finally, coming up with lots of other things you could use a Thneed for is now a family joke, and a very creative one!

Read the story and start the environmental conversation now.. brilliant book.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 September 2019

I have always loved this story, so much so that when I was in business college I used this book for a presentation on the environmental impacts of business.

This is a really good book for introducing children to what happens when we abuse our environment. Perfect book for today's society. It discusses and clearly shows how the destruction of one thing can impact the entire eco system around it.
Buy this, share it with your children..start the conversations at an early age. My little one is 5 and really enjoyed the story plus the conversation we had afterwards..

Absolutely wonderful children's book that both my son and I enjoyed very much. The illustrations are beautiful and as a 3 year old my son was able to understand the underlying 'moral' to the story. A really great book if you are looking to start a dialog with your children on social responsibility, the environment and the importance of nature. Would very much recommend.

Every child should have an opportunity to own this book.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 November 2020

Every child should have an opportunity to own this book. Apart from the central message to care for our environment, the wonderfully creativity of language gives the reader the chance to push the boundaries past the normal familiar word construction. Not least in this treasure is the aspect of right and wrong. An informative book which speaks of hope for the future of our planet through bringing awareness to the individual.
