When my older son (not the one pictured here) was 2 years old, he had many many sections of The Lorax memorized. I still remember the sound of his sweet little voice saying “The vewy next minute, I heard a Gazump!”

And I do love reciting “A Thneed’s a fine something that all people need! It’s a shirt! It’s a sock! It’s a glove! It’s a hat! But it has other uses, yes, far beyond that!”

I was very proud of my younger son when I came home from work and found him positively enraged that a certain company was using The Lorax to sell cars. NO, we did not go to the movie. I had to sit down and read the part of the book that said, “Sir,” said the Lorax, “you are crazy with greed…”
