Long before saving the earth became a global concern, Dr. Seuss, speaking through his character the Lorax, warned against mindless progress and the danger it posed to the earth's natural beauty.

Well-executed narration

The narration was well performed and the under-lying music wasn't distracting. We'll play this at our school for Earth Day.

Has soundtrack for entire reading duration

I love the story of the lorax, so my review does not in any way reflect the content of the story, but rather the way in which the story was presented sonically. I really prefer that the story be a rhythmic recording of the literature rather than something with a soundtrack. In this case the soundtrack sounded very cheap and took away from my overall experience of the story.

Perfect for a beginning reader!

My son likes The Lorax a lot more than I do, and now he can listen to it over and over and over again if he wants. :-) This is a great recording, with background music and sound effects that I think really add to the listening experience.

Having audio recordings of picture books like this one are really fun now that our little guy is starting to read; he can practice following along while listening, just like when we're reading together. Great value for the price!

Awesome book made better with Ted Danson

I, personally, would not have chosen Ted Danson to narrate The Lorax. I'm sorry, Ted Danson, for not giving you enough credit.

Danson does a masterful job representing the different voices and keeping it light and charming.

I think kids will love it. I know I did.

A Dr. Suess for all times - especially these times

I always recoomend Dr Seuss books for young readers. The rhythmic, repetition of rhyme and sounds help students appreciate the sound of written language. The imaginative and poignant stories also help children fall in love with books. The Lorax, in particular, gives an important message for families to talk about. In this age of global climate change and environmental awareness, this book will captivate children and give adults a way to talk about issues that kids are aware of in a way that childen can access.

Wonderful story and narrative!

Our team is reaching out to our local grade school and I am reading this book to students on Friday 3/2 to celebrate Dr. Seuss’s birthday. This really helped me to prepare to deliver a better performance for the kids.

I Speak

Well the kiddos loved the story and I myself loved the message. We have listened to it several times and it hasn't become tiresome.
