(back to the Primer booklist)
The Lorax, by Dr. Seuss
An environmentalist-themed picture book from the 70's. The many Dr. Seuss books are the first books I remember reading (around age 4, maybe?). For a while it was hard work, and I just wanted my parents to read them for me, but eventually I learned to enjoy it. Dr. Seuss is wonderful in all his ridiculousness, but I picked this book for the Primer because it goes beyond fun rhymes to present something meaningful, which is somewhat unusual in the picture-book genre.
If you like The Lorax, you might also appreciate the rest of his books, as well as the books of Shel Silverstein and Roald Dahl.
