""UNLESS someone like you...cares a whole awful lot...nothing is going to
get better...It's not."" Long before saving the earth became a global
concern, Dr. Seuss, speaking through his character the Lorax, warned against
mindless progress and the danger it posed to the earth's natural beauty. His
classic cautionary tale is now available in an irresistible mini-edition,
perfect for backpack or briefcase, for Arbor Day, Earth Day, and every day.
