This week in the library, the Preschool celebrated Dr. Suess’ recent birthday by sharing my favorite Suess story, The Lorax.
Though it was written 40 years ago, The Lorax is a gentle reminder of the fragility of the earth and our responsibility as stewards of the planet. As the Once-ler builds his empire of thneeds, not only the fate of the truffula trees is put in jeopardy, but also of the creatures that depend on the fruit of the truffulas, and clean air and water. With its vibrant illustrations and sincerity of voice, the The Lorax is one those books to read and keep forever!
We concluded with bookbrowsing and checkout. Happy Reading!
