The Lorax Worksheets

by Dr. Seuss

Lexile 560L · ATOS 3.1

At the far end of town where the Grickle-grass grows, the old Once-ler tells a child how the Lorax was lifted away. Long ago he comes upon a glorious place full of bright Truffula Trees, chops one down to knit a Thneed, and meets the Lorax, who speaks for the trees. As the Once-ler's Thneed factory grows bigger and bigger, the Lorax warns him again and again about the Bar-ba-loots, the Swomee-Swans and the Humming-Fish. A classic Earth Day story about caring for trees, clean air and clean water.
