THE LORAX - great book - terrible movie?


"Mister!" he said with a sawdusty sneeze, "I am the Lorax. I speak for the trees." In this haunting fable about the dangers of destroying our forests and woodlands, the long-suffering Lorax struggles to save all  the Truffula Trees from the wicked Once-ler's axe.  A hilarious story with typical zany humour and silly rhymes, that  packs a punch with its ecological message without feeling heavy-handed or worthy.
About the Author:Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, an Academy Award, three Emmy Awards, three Grammy Awards, and three Caldecott Honours, Theodor Seuss  Geisel, a.k.a. Dr. Seuss, wrote and illustrated 44 books. While Geisel died on September 24, 1991, Dr. Seuss 
lives on, inspiring generations of children of all ages.
The movie?
