Publisher's summary

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.

Ohhhh... the Lorax, brings on the emotion

The narration and quality of recording is top notch. Of course the story keeps you on the edge of your seat.

My 6 year old absolutely loves this book, movie and audio book. He can't get enough. I, at first, did not want to buy a short book with my credit but my son was like, "The Lorax! the Lorax!" so I caved in. Now I am quite happy we got it. And we certainly got our money's worth because we listen to it every night!

Odd Music Choice

Wonderful naration, excellent pace, and well performed voices. But the music choice? Very strange: it does not fit the story well and is far too loud.

Love this story.

Ted Danson's voice is lovely and familiar narrating this story which we already love. My children love listening to it at bedtime.

The Lorax by Dr Suess and spoken by Ted Danson from Cheers

Cute and funny from a teacher of of 29 years. I love this because off the wall things appeal to many keiki (children)

During my y years I used Dr Suess a lot, Shel Silversteine,

Quick read.

I read this since it was once in a list of banned books. I wanted to see what in the world Dr. Seuss could write that would cause a state to ban the work. He was surely ahead of his time as this book preaches about the wastefulness of mankind. Fun and thoughtful read.
