Author: Dr. Seuss
The Lorax speaks for the Trees. It aims to nurture the environmentalist in your child asking them to preserve old tress and plant new ones. Like all Dr.Seuss books, the characters are drawn with great imagination and with a hint of silliness. The greedy corporate Once-ler is drawn as an invisible entity with only his hands and eyes revealed. For a five year old, the broad theme will be appreciated but the long book is a little tiresome. This is possibly a second grade book where she can enjoy the rhythm patterns and such. At five, this is a great book to just see the wonderful illustrations of this book and of course the underlying message.
