This may sound funny coming from a 15-year-old, but Dr. Seuss has always been one of my favorite authors. I've read them all - Bartholomew and the Oobleck, Horton Hears a Who, The Cat In The Hat, and Green Eggs and Ham. But out of all the books Dr. Seuss has written, The Lorax is my favorite. Besides containing an important message about the environment, Dr. Seuss writes and illustrates with a certain creative flair which makes his books hard to resist.

The Once-ler tells his sad story of the Truffula Trees to a small boy. The book ends with the old Once-ler giving the last Truffula seed to the boy and telling him to take care of it
