“Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not,” proclaims The Lorax in this cautionary tale of greed and environmental destruction. The story recounts how the Lorax tries to save the Truffula Forest and its inhabitants from disaster at the hands of an insatiable factory owner. The Lorax’s pleas are ignored and tragedy follows. A Dr. Seuss classic, it also serves as an ecological warning that still rings true today.

Very Buggy - Do not buy! This app was great until it got stuck while we were reading story and then locked up my tablet for 30 minutes. Had to restart my Motorola Xyboard to get the app to quit. VERY DISAPPOINTING ESPECIALLY FOR THE HIGH PRICE!

Daughter loves OM books My 5 year old daughter loves the electronic book and I'm glad she does. It's a fun story by Dr. Seuss with colorful illustrations just like the paperbooks but with the bonus of funny sound effects, great narration, and auto play. I love the convenience of having the book ready for her anytime, anywhere, and, knock on wood, it hasn't failed yet. I also appreciate that the highlighted scrolling allows her to read along with the narrator; I notice her silently sounding out the words to herself. It's worth it.
