Today in class, we read the lorax by Dr. Seuss. In this book, a young boy wants to find out more about the lorax. He meets the once-ler, a creature who we never actually see, and the once-ler tells him storys about how, long ago, the once-ler chopped down many truffula trees to make thneeds, which are peices of clothing. throughout this book, the lorax is constantly telling the once-ler that he is ruining the environment of the truffula trees, the Bar-ba-loots and the humming fish. But the once-ler never listens, and eventually,all of the truffula trees are exctinct. at the end of this book, the once-ler gives the young boy the last truffula tree seed.

I think the main idea of this story was that deforestation can lead to the destruction of communities, and that the more humans cut down trees, the more animals lose their homes.

This was a really good book that taught us alot about the environment.
