Lorax, First Edition (33 results)

Condition: New. 91st printing-"Celebrate nature with Dr. Seuss and the Lorax in this classic picture book about protecting the environment! I am the Lorax. I speak for the trees. Dr. Seuss's beloved story teaches kids to speak up and stand up for those who can't. With a recycling-friendly Go, Green, message, The Lorax allows young readers to experience the beauty of the Truffula Trees and the danger of taking our earth for granted, all in a story that is timely, playful, and hopeful. The book's final pages teach us that just one small seed, or one small child, can make a difference. Printed on recycled paper, this book is the perfect gift for Earth Day and for any child or child at heart who is interested in recycling, advocacy, and the environment, or just loves nature and playing outside. Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not. Pretty much all the stuff you need to know is in Dr. Seuss.? President Barack Obama Review: 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.".

Hardcover. Condition: Near fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near fine. First edition. Included is Dr. Seuss' very first children's story, "And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street," which is pulled from publication because it has outdated portrayals of Asian people. These include descriptions of a character described as Chinese as having slanted eyes, eating bowls of rice, and wearing conical hats. It also captions an illustration of a man as "a Chinese man who eats with sticks." The book, in particular this section, was actually altered in 1978 by Dr. Seuss himself: "I had a gentleman with a pigtail. I colored him yellow and called him a 'Chinaman.' That's the way things were 50 years ago," the late author once said. "In later editions, I refer to him as a 'Chinese man.' I have taken the color out of the gentleman and removed the pigtail and now he looks like an Irishman."

Condition: Very good. First library edition. First edition, library issue, of Dr. Seuss's great anti-industrial rhyming tirade, teaching the early reader to know fear in a handful of dust. THE LORAX etched dire environmental anxiety into the very souls of all children of the 1970s and after, fortunate or unfortunate enough to hear and understand this impassioned parable. All great children's books have something to offer the adult reader, above or behind what is visible to the intended audience, but THE LORAX is perhaps the most squarely adult of all Seuss's multileveled works, designed to hurt most those who understand irony the best: "I laughed at the Lorax, 'You poor stupid guy! You never can tell what some people will buy." Amidst the urgent anger, Seuss sets a rather cruel picture of an idyllic lost golden age - "when the grass was still green / and the pond was still wet / and the clouds were still clean" - to tantalize those born too late to see a Truffala Tree with their own eyes. But it's never too late or too early to devastate the young with a vision of lost earthly delight they'll never recapture their whole lives long. Removed from one California school district's reading list in the late '80s for wounding the tender feelings of logging profiteers, one outraged businessman declared, "To teach this book is insensitive to us as pillars of the community." It certainly is. A classic for a reason. 11'' x 8''. Original pictorial boards. Library edition, published simultaneously with the first trade edition.
