The
Lorax
by Dr. Seuss, et al
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) Amazon.com

The
Secret Art of Dr. Seuss
by Theodor Seuss Geisel, et al
Beyond Dr. Seuss's work for children is an entirely different world--perhaps
similar in whimsy and humor, but even more wondrous. The Secret Art of
Dr. Seuss is a short (less than 100 pages) and beautiful full-color coffee-table
book filled with cartoons, sketches, and oil paintings. The collection
of birds, cats, lions, and pointy-headed people is fairly familiar territory
for any true Seuss fan, but with a deeper amount of detail and more sophisticated
tones. A favorite design in ink is titled "Impractical Marshmallow Toasting
Device"--it's easy to see Seuss didn't find art to be a serious business.
And could the oil painting "Cat from the Wrong Side of the Tracks" be a
rendition of Cat in the Hat's evil twin? A wonderful, intriguing book for
Seuss fans of all ages.
