El Lórax

The Once-ler describes the results of the local pollution problem.

El Lórax se enfada cuando los pájaros y los peces emigran a causa de la contaminación originada por los humos de una fábrica. Elogiada por la crítica, esta maravillosa fábula ecológica conserva el ritmo y el sabor del lenguaje del Dr. Seuss.

Children's Literature

In this classic story, the Once-ler describes how his greedy actions destroyed a beautiful and thriving environment. Children will enjoy the colorful characters and rhyming verse and adults will appreciate the subtle messages about the negative effects of deforestation, habitat destruction, and air and water pollution.

It s difficult to imagine the children s book landscape without Dr. Seuss, who is, almost half a century after The Cat in the Hat, the best-recognized children s book writer in the country. But until Dr. Seuss -- a.k.a. Theodor Seuss Geisel -- reinvented the genre with his colorful and exuberant Sneetches, Grinches, Zaxes, and Zooks, children s books were often little more than literal-minded lessons and cautionary tales intended to transform young readers into productive citizens.
