“Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not,” proclaims The Lorax in this cautionary tale of greed and environmental destruction. The story recounts how the Lorax tries to save the Truffula Forest and its inhabitants from disaster at the hands of an insatiable factory owner. The Lorax’s pleas are ignored and tragedy follows. A Dr. Seuss classic, it also serves as an ecological warning that still rings true today.

Lora's app
This is a great app! I turn on the sound and the children I work with can hear it while they are reading it. It helps them to learn the words and how to pronounce them. I also enjoy reading it myself. It is a good story about saving the trees.
Beautiful Story, Wonderful App!
My grandies love this story and the app allows them to have it read to them or read it themselves! It all depends on their age and ability. I love it, too
