The Lorax (Classic Seuss)
Authors: Dr. Seuss. Theodor Seuss Geisel. Hardcover, 72 pagesPublisher: Random House Books for Young Readers Publication Date: 1971-08-12 Reviews :
Illus. in full color. "The big, colorful pictures and the fun images, word plays and rhymes make this an amusing exposition of the ecology crisis."-- School Library Journal. ...
When Dr. Seuss gets serious, you know it must be important. Published in 1971, and perhaps inspired by the "save our planet" mindset of the 1960s, The Lorax is an ecological warning that still rings true today amidst the dangers of clear-cutting, pollution, and disregard for the earth's environment. In The Lorax, we find what we've come to expect from the illustrious doctor: brilliantly whimsical rhymes, delightfully original creatures, and weirdly undulating illustrations. But here there is also something more--a powerful message that Seuss implores both adults and children to heed. The now remorseful Once-ler--our faceless, bodiless narrator--tells the story himself. Long ago this enterprising villain chances upon a place filled with wondrous Truffula Trees, Swomee-Swans, Brown Bar-ba- loots, and Humming-Fishes. Bewitched by the beauty of the Truffula Tree tufts, he greedily chops them down to produce and mass-market Thneeds. ("It's a shirt. It's a sock. It's a glove. It's a hat.") As the trees swiftly disappear and the denizens leave for greener pastures, the fuzzy yellow Lorax (who speaks for the trees "for the trees have no tongues") repeatedly warns the Once-ler, but his words of wisdom are for naught. Finally the Lorax extricates himself from the scorched earth (by the seat of his own furry pants), leaving only a rock engraved "UNLESS." Thus, with his own colorful version of a compelling morality play, Dr. Seuss teaches readers not to fool with Mother Nature. But as you might expect from Seuss, all hope is not lost--the Once-ler has saved a single Truffula Tree seed! Our fate now rests in the hands of a caring child, who becomes our last chance for a clean, green future. (Ages 4 to 8)...

The Earth Is My Mother
Authors: Bev Doolittle. Hardcover, 176 pagesPublisher: The Greenwich Workshop Press Publication Date: 2000-01-04 Edition: 1 Reviews :
Eleven-year-old Sarah Stewart goes on a "vision quest" to discover her power to prevent the development of a desert canyon in the Southwest. With the aid of a Native-American guide, Sarah takes photographs (actually Doolittle's watercolor paintings) that she hopes will help save Magic Canyon. But in spite of her fascinating photos, the city council votes against purchasing the canyon as a wilderness land trust. When a national news magazine prepares a story about the girl and the vision quest, it discovers that the photos can be combined to create a breathtaking portrait of Mother Earth. When that picture appears on the magazine's cover, there is a national outpouring of support for saving Magic Canyon and other endangered wilderness. Part coming-of-age, part camouflage riddle, this is a book about the sacred circle of life and the preservation of the natural world that supports us....
