This is a nice, easy-to-read book. Set in pre-Once-ler times, the book goes through the Lorax’s world with simple rhymes and descriptions. The reader is exposed to the various animals that live around the truffula trees and learn about opposites at the same time.Growing up, The Lorax was my all-time favorite book (and to be honest, it’s probably still my favorite children’s book as an adult). While the kids I work with enjoy the colorful illustrations of the original, the text is a bit long for them. So finding this book in the Little Free Lending Library was perfect. This is a great book to introduce young readers to the Lorax.
