Published In: United Kingdom, 05 January 2004
In this haunting fable about the dangers of destroying our forests and woodlands, the long-suffering Lorax struggles to save all the Truffula Trees from the wicked Once-ler's axe. With his unique combination of hilarious stories, zany pictures and riotous rhymes, Dr. Seuss has been delighting young children and helping them learn to read for over fifty years. Creator of the wonderfully anarchic Cat in the Hat, and ranking among the UK's top ten favourite children's authors, Seuss is firmly established as a global best-seller, with nearly half a million books sold worldwide. This delightful book forms part of the third stage in HarperCollins' major Dr. Seuss rebrand programme. With the relaunch of six more titles in January 2004, such all-time favourites as The Lorax, The Foot Book and Yertle the Turtle boast bright new covers that incorporate much needed guidance on reading levels: Blue Back Books are for parents to share with young children, Green Back Books are for budding readers to tackle on their own, and Yellow Back Books are for older, more fluent readers to enjoy. The Lorax belongs to the Yellow Back Book range.

About the Author

Theodor Seuss Geisel -- better known to millions of his 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 hugely successful range of early learning books.

5 of 5 Stars! – Customer review on 19/02/2009

The Lorax is a wonderful Dr Seuss book. I would rate it as my favourite of all his works. It's funny, the pictures are beautiful and it has a wonderful message about ecology.
A great read for any age - 3yrs, 8yrs, 12yrs, adult!

5 of 5 Stars! – Customer review on 05/07/2007

The Lorax is funny book where this thing
called a Once-ler comes and he chops
down all the Truffula trees and all the birds
and fish and other stuff that lived there
had to go away because they cant
be in all the smoke and goo. And
as for the Lorax he was never seen again.
This is a really good book for all ages. By Kale age 8

(Kales Mum says, a wonderfully told and illustrated book with a strong moral about how our greed in wanting to produce stuff to make money, destroys our environment…From 4 – 14, a good book that will hold interest for many years of your childs life)

5 of 5 Stars! – Customer review on 16/07/2006

I found the front page of this book great to question younger children before reading it what they thought the book would be about. It is great listening to children sharing what is on thier minds about the story before attempting to read it. I found this book great to read to others and listening to them read it to me.

This is my all time favourite book! It is best enjoyed read aloud - and I have to admit that sometimes I even read it aloud to myself! THe environmental and responsibility message is loud and clear, helped by the Lorax. It also deals with issues of greed and sustainablilty!
