This is one of the few books that my
daughter voluntarily chooses that I don't mind reading. It's much better than that
Disney rubbish.
I don't know if she's getting the environmental message or not, but I always read the following page in a slow, sombre voice, it even gives me some goosebumps:
And at that very moment, we heard a loud whack!
From outside in the fields came a sickening smack
of an axe on a tree. Then we heard the tree fall.
The very last Truffula Tree of them all!
-- Theodor Geisel (aka Dr. Seuss)
