A classic children's book by Dr. Seuss with a biting environmental message. It is the story of a young boy who learns the tale of how industrialists pillaged the land cutting down Truffula Trees to make thneeds, the thing everyone needs. The Lorax, a strange creature who is the voice of the barbaloot bears, the singing fish, and the swami swans, who were all driven out by the pollution, finally gives up and flies away. The old industrialist, now repentant, gives the young boy his last hope: the last remaining Truffula seed.
