| This is a wonderful story that teaches children (and adults)
the necessity of caring for the earth. Readers explore the dangers of
over industrialization and pollution. The effects on the
imaginary world portrayed in the story are startling, as native animals are forced to leave as
their home is slowly destroyed. |
Suggested activites:
- Look around your own neighborhood, do you see evidence of pollution?
- Plant a tree...watch it grow! Water it and give it good care! Keep a journal of the changes you see.
- Write a sequel... What happened to all of the thneeds? Did the world of the Lorax ever return?
