Introduction to The Lorax<\/em> by Dr Seuss<\/p>\n

The\u00a0 Lorax<\/em> is a picture book with a very powerful message.\u00a0 It can be read at very simple level or as a fable and \u00a0jumping off point for discussion about our rights and responsibilities for the world around us.\u00a0 It can be read and enjoyed by children and young people working at Early, First and Second Level.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Lorax<\/em> was first published in 1971.\u00a0 The themes it introduces are just as , if not more, relevant today.<\/p>\n

It tells story of a Once-ler who discovers that Truffula trees can be used to make \u00a0\u2018Thneeds \u2018 (strange but versatile garments). The demand for Thneeds is enormous.\u00a0 The Once-ler\u2019s greed and disregard for nature mean that the Truffula trees become extinct and the natural environment destroyed. \u00a0The narrator of the story, the Lorax, \u2018speaks for the trees’.<\/p>\n
