Yes to anything Seuss! The Lorax is a classic and was probably one of the first children's books to teach about protecting our natural environment and it is still very relevant today. Children love this character :)

Love Dr. Seuss!! Horton Hears a Who is a favorite, as was Cat in a Hat, but DS absolutely loved How the Grinch Stole Christmas -- we had to read it year 'round. Even DH had it memorized. Last Christmas I started reciting it to DGS and remembered most of it -- he was reading along and correcting my errrors. It was great fun. (His Mom, DD, never approved of us reading Christmas books when it was not Christmas so he only gets to enjoy it in the fall.)

I once memorized the whole of the Lorax for a high school speach team competition. Could I repeat it all from memory today? Not so much.....

i'm from the days of "on beyond zebra" and "the 500 hats of bartholomew cubbins", and "bartholomew cubbins and the oobleck". i have to cop to loving all things seuss. horton, the sneetches, even that naughty cat in the hat populated our lives for a very long time. (but on beyond zebra captured my heart when i was little...)

All Dr. Seuss are wonderful. I liked the Lorax, but I've never seen Horton Hears a Who fabric. Would love that!

For a read aloud with a pre-schooler try Mr. Brown Can Moo, Can You?

and Yertle the Turtle was a treatise on Hitler. Very political. In sum, if Dr. Seuss wrote it, I love it!

Is he among your Dr. Seuss favorites?
That's my all time favourite Dr. Seuss book. I even bought the digitable version for my iPod Touch. I would love to see Lorax fabrics!
