Theodor Seuss Geisel—aka Dr. Seuss—is one of the most beloved children’s book authors of all time. From The Cat in the Hat to Oh, the Places You’ll Go!, his iconic characters, stories, and art style have been a lasting influence on generations of children and adults. The books he wrote and illustrated under the name Dr. Seuss (and others that he wrote but did not illustrate, including some under the pseudonyms Theo. LeSieg and Rosetta Stone) have been translated into 45 languages. Hundreds of millions of copies have found their way into homes and hearts around the world. Dr. Seuss’s long list of awards includes Caldecott Honors, the Pulitzer Prize, and eight honorary doctorates. Works based on his original stories have won three Oscars, three Emmys, three Grammys, and a Peabody.

May be too much for compassionate younger children.

Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2020

Verified Purchase

This is a beautiful book with a great message that I want my son to learn. However, if your young reader is a huge Dr. Seuss fan, as my son is, be aware that this book has a deep message about the catastrophic effects of not being sustainable and ravaging the natural resources our planet offers us. It may have been too much for my compassionate and sensitive 5-year-old. At the end of the book he just stared at the last page for a minute then burst out crying saying he did not like the book. He cried for a long time. He was worried about the silly trees and all the animals. All the other Dr. Seuss books we own are silly, rhyme and leave him feeling happy. I’m putting it away for now and trying again to read it with him when he’s a bit older.

Relevant book for all ages

Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2017

Verified Purchase

This book is not just a children's book but so much more! Every family should have this as a staple in their home. It is so relevant to the world today that it is almost inconceivable that it was written in 1971, 46 years ago. The environmental issues alone are a must read for everyone. Get it for a very young child so they can begin to learn responsibility now for the world we live in.

Our Class Review - 2017

Dear Reader,
In our opinion, we think you should read “The Lorax”.
It has really fun rhymes. One example of this is when he wrote “nail and sail”. He even had characters called Barbaloots who were in Barbaloot Suits. It teaches you an important lesson. Specifically, it teaches us to not cut down many trees. That’s why you should read “The Lorax” to your class or kids.
Sincerely,
Mrs. West’s 2nd Grade Superhero Class

This has got to be one of the most revolutionary books ever written in English. Everyone should read it right now. If you have an issue with this man who dedicated his life to enlightening and uplifting humanity, please get your head out of your ass before the news gives you something actually worth crying about.

A classic

Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2021

Verified Purchase

My daughter's favorite book, so it gets a lot of air time in our house. A classic Seuss book, and like all Seuss books, I find it a little long. I am not a huge fan of the bit when the Once-ler tells the Lorax to "shut up" but, we just make sure to read that part through very quickly in hopes that it won't get repeated.

Classic Rhyming story for all ages

Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2022

Verified Purchase

I purchased this for a group of 3rd to 5th graders I volunteer with to practice reading skills, and it’s been the favorite of them all so far.

The rhyming makes the lesson on environmental stewardship catchy and fun, will simultaneously being clear, concise, and timeless.

A quick 15 minute read that 9 to 13 year olds enjoyed reading with someone else due to the bright pictures on every page, rhyming, silliness, and complete reading of the story in one sitting.

Dr. Suess is always good

Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2019

Verified Purchase

This book was purchased as a gift that has been sent out of state. Although we received a thank-you, we don't know how the recipients' parents felt about the book. We think it was a bit old for a three-year-old, but our experience with Dr. Suess books suggested that this one, which has a good message and may be good for the future, was as good a choice as suggested by our daughter and 15-year-old granddaughter, who indeed was reading it with her older brothers when she was three. It is surely a gift that will keep on giving!

Miss Summerson

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

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 2, 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.

Surely the best of all Dr Seuss' creations

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 6, 2021

Verified Purchase

This is a heartbreaking and amazingly resonant story of how individuals can destroy the beauty of the world. It should be a must for all adults and children. Our child has taken it to school and it has become extremely popular with the teachers and other students. Beautifully written, beautifully illustrated. A tale for our times.

Liked it!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 7, 2013

Verified Purchase

This is a nicely pitched book with the aim of getting our little ones to have a responsible attitude toward trees.
They so often seem to get trashed as soon as they are planted, in current townscapes.
Children nowadays rarely seem to be taught at school the important part that trees play in cleaning and replenishing the air that we all breathe - a fact that makes each and every one of them worthy of our guardianship.
It was written in fairly straight-forward language and was easy for my 6-year old grand-daughter to digest. We both enjoyed it!

We read it every night

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 10, 2022

Easily his best work. Challenging to read aloud but the cadence is rhythmic enough to knock out any small child by the time the Lorax pulls himself up by the seat of his pants.

A great story

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 5, 2013

I bought the book because I heard about the new film in 2012. Used it with my year 5 class, first read book and discussed it. Then watched the first part of the video and the class were full of it... A great discussion ensued over why the film would start so differently and we moved into a 4 week unit of exciting and stimulating topic work on report writing, persuasive writing, research into the environment and the destruction of the rainforest .....
