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)

圖書標籤: 繪本 環境保護 兒童讀物 Dr.Seuss 想再讀 童話 漫畫繪本 兒童文學
非常好的童話繪本>.<
評分第二本Seuss的書,可能適閤3,4歲左右的孩子吧。這種風格真是太有趣瞭,大人都讀得入神。原來UCSD著名的標誌性建築Geisel Library就是為紀念他和他妻子而建。之前觀看紀錄片“無處為傢(Nowhere To Call Home)”放映的房間叫Seuss Room。萬萬沒想到世界是如此聯係起來。
評分這本兒童繪本很有內涵呀,很深奧。 描述破壞自然環境會怎麼樣。
評分憂鬱的環保故事
評分讀得好辛苦,不是兒童讀物嗎,好多好多詞不認識,讓我想重讀幼兒園……一個悲傷故事,告訴要環保,實踐自己想法應考慮整體,顧慮其他生命。
