Ohhhh... the Lorax, brings on the emotion

The narration and quality of recording is top notch. Of course the story keeps you on the edge of your seat.

My 6 year old absolutely loves this book, movie and audio book. He can't get enough. I, at first, did not want to buy a short book with my credit but my son was like, "The Lorax! the Lorax!" so I caved in. Now I am quite happy we got it. And we certainly got our money's worth because we listen to it every night!

Love this story.

Ted Danson's voice is lovely and familiar narrating this story which we already love. My children love listening to it at bedtime.

Odd Music Choice

Wonderful naration, excellent pace, and well performed voices. But the music choice? Very strange: it does not fit the story well and is far too loud.

A Dr. Suess for all times - especially these times

I always recoomend Dr Seuss books for young readers. The rhythmic, repetition of rhyme and sounds help students appreciate the sound of written language. The imaginative and poignant stories also help children fall in love with books. The Lorax, in particular, gives an important message for families to talk about. In this age of global climate change and environmental awareness, this book will captivate children and give adults a way to talk about issues that kids are aware of in a way that childen can access.

Wonderful story and narrative!

Our team is reaching out to our local grade school and I am reading this book to students on Friday 3/2 to celebrate Dr. Seuss’s birthday. This really helped me to prepare to deliver a better performance for the kids.

I Speak

Well the kiddos loved the story and I myself loved the message. We have listened to it several times and it hasn't become tiresome.

Okay

I think it a nice book. The reason I give 4 stars is because it’s to short.
