Book beginnings on Friday

Like I said before already, today is Earth Day and it is appropriate to take “The Lorax ” as today’s

book. To read a bit more about “The Lorax” please go to my previous post titled “The Lorax Project”.

The book is, of course, written in the typical manner of Dr. Seuss. Here we go:

 

At the far end of town

where the Grickle-grass grows

and the wind smells slow-and-sour when it blows

and no birds ever sing excepting old crows…

is the Street of the Lifted Lorax.

  

I am getting a feeling that the end is near already…

  1. Dr. Suess was so fun to read wasn’t he? I can’t wait until I can read these to my granddaughter. She’s not quite old enough to appreciate them yet!

  2. Very nice choice! Happy Earth Day!

  3. Rikki, how interesting that you posted about The Lorax because today is Earth Day. I also included The Lorax in my Earth Day post:
