What are the various information regarding the lorax?
The Lorax is a children’s book, written by Dr. Seuss and first published in 1971. It chronicles the plight of the environment and the Lorax (a mossy, bossy man-like creature), who speaks for the trees against the greedy Once-ler. As in most of Dr. Seuss works, most of the creatures mentioned are original to the book. The book is commonly recognized as a fable concerning industrialized society, using the literary element of personification to give life to industry as the Once-ler (whose face is never shown in all of the story’s illustrations or in the film version) and to the environment as the Lorax. It has become a popular metaphor for those concerned about the human impact on the environment. Sources: http://en.wikipedia.

Dr Seuss’ Lorax’s plea: Stop cutting trees! As the world’s rain forests disappear, one of Dr. Seuss’ most powerful and controversial characters has been summoned back into action to issue a post-millennium warning. The Lorax, the story of a furry-cheeked little creature who fights to save the environment from the greedy Once-ler, has been a perennial favorite of kids and parents since it was published in 1971. Now, Dr. Seuss Enterprises is teaming with Conservation International and Random House to use The Lorax to help save the forests. The book is being reprinted with a special environmental message that describes “The Lorax Project,” which is being launched today in honor of Earth Day. Ten percent to 15% of profits from the book and from Earth-friendly consumer products featuring the Lorax’s image will be used to stop deforestation in Madagascar, Brazil and China. It’s time to remind people of the Lorax’s message, says Susan Brandt, executive vice president of Dr. Seuss Enterprises
