Dr. Seuss’ “The Lorax” is coming to theaters this Friday, and though I’m no longer a child, I’ve got to admit that I’m still excited…almost as excited as I was to see the Muppet Movie, which exceeded my high expectations. “The Lorax” is my favorite Dr. Seus book, narrowly edging out “Horton Hear’s a Who.”
One of my favorite quotes from “The Lorax” is a simple one, but personifies Dr. Seuss’ ability to make words come to life:
“‘Mister’ he said with a sawdusty sneeze,
‘I am the Lorax, I speak for the trees.'”
Here’s hoping that the movie is able to keep the magic of the book.
