Trufulla trees, Brown Barbaloots, and Humming Fish; no we aren’t inventing new words here at thinkGood, these are all characters in the childhood classic Dr. Seuss story The Lorax. First published in 1971, The Lorax is a great story that educates youngsters about the environmental dangers of deforestation, and how important it is for individuals to care about our planet. The Lorax, a short yellow creature, is actually an advocate for the environment who “speaks for the trees” against the greedy corporate businessman the Once-ler. Dr. Seuss’ whimsical Brown Barbaloots, and Humming Fish are a part of the forest’s ecosystem that become endangered and displaced as their habitat is destroyed as the Oncler’s Thneed making business grows. The Lorax is definitely a classic Dr. Seuss novel filled with colourful characters, rhyme, and an important message. We encourage all of our thinkGood. readers to get their hands on a copy of The Lorax and share it with a child in their life! Take a look at our adorable thinkGood. supporter young Massimo enjoying story time with his Super Mom in the pics below!
