I do not like Dr. Seuss. I didn't like reading the books when I was younger, and I don't like reading the books to my preschooler sons now. I don't like that words are made up, there is no way to explain to a child that no, that tree doesn't really exist, and no, I don't know what those animals are, they are just for pretend, etc.. throughout an entire book. The words are made up, and for small children trying to understand what everything is, it just makes things more difficult. Obviously, I am in the minority, but just... blah.

Just read this for a quick read. Although it's a children's book, it had a great message. Read it, it's not difficult.

I just read this book to my class. The kids reactions were:
"Ms. Baker I feel really sad, like a friend just died."
"Why?"
"Because they killed all the truffula trees! and I loved them like friends!"
we had quite a somber morning as we all contemplated the lorax.

Dr. Seuss was ahead of his time, foretelling of a future where big business would gobble up the splendor of nature in one fell swoop.
