Summary
The Lorax becomes enraged when an entrepreneur builds a factory to make thneeds from Truffula trees, and creates so much pollution that the fish and the birds are forced to migrate. Praised by critics, the excellent Spanish translation of Dr. Seuss's marvelous ecological tale retains the rhyme and flavor of the original. Text copyright 2004 Lectorum Publications, Inc.
