The Lorax

We read this, this morning from our Dr Seuss Baker's Dozen treasury in line with our Forest for the Trees unit study. I started out with the intent of reading it through, but then AppleBlossom (5.5) read some with me quite willingly. After we finished reading it we discussed what would happen to the trees in our yard if someone cut them all down including the Lisa of shade, habitats, and more. It really touched her. Then we watched the movie borrowed from our public library. Both girls commented on what they'd seen in the book as it was portrayed on the movie. Even the three year old said they had cut just too much. For us, even with the use of nonsense words it did well to introduce ecology and the purpose of trees and the desire to promote preservation.

We own a treasury that includes this book.
