There are many versions of the Lorax, but this post is all about the book written by Theodore Geisel or, Dr. Seuss.
- The book was published in 1971 by Random House
- In 2012, The Lorax was named one of the "Top 100 Picture Books" of all time by a School Library Journal online poll
- The line, "I hear things are just as bad up in Lake Erie" was removed over 14 year after the book was published when two people wrote to Dr. Seuss about the cleaning up of Lake Erie
- Two audio book versions of the Lorax have been released. One by Ted Danson in the U.S and one by Rik Mayall in the U.K
- Some copies of the Lorax are printed on recycled paper!
Recently I was watching my favorite Minecrafter, paulsoaresjr. He was playing on a server and saw a new building being built by his house and was complaining about the smog and smoke and gross stuff that would come to his nice environmentally friendly area. And the best part, he said, "It's like the Lorax over here." I thought that was pretty awesome that he mentioned the Lorax!
