The Lorax by Dr. Seuss
The Lorax is an engaging, classic story of the importance of caring for our environment. With Seuss’s simple plot and familiar style, students can easily understand the Lorax’s warning and the Once-ler’s plea. Through the endangered Truffula Trees, the Brown Bar-ba-loots and others, students can explore renewable vs. non-renewable resources; discuss how human behavior (e.g., pollution, over-consumption, and habitat destruction) affects the whole web of nature; and consider what we might do to help.
