The Lorax

A mysterious creature called the Once-ler tells the story of how he chopped down every Truffula Tree to build his factory, ignoring the Lorax's warnings until the forest and its animals were gone.

For the kid who asks why the trees near their house got cut down, or who already knows recycling matters — this book gives their questions a voice, and a name: the Lorax.
