The Lorax

The Lorax (Classic Seuss): Dr. Seuss: 9780394823379: Books


Title: The Lorax


Author: Dr. Seuss


Published by Random House, Inc. (1971)

 

In this book, the Once-ler describes the results of the local pollution problem.

 

This book has been banned because it was believed to portray logging in a poor light and would turn children against the foresting industry. Obviously, kids would never recognize this while reading, I know I didn’t. It is the adults and parents. Reading it now as an adult, I do see that in the storyline.

 

I rate this book a two out of five stars. The illustrations are fun, as they always are in the Dr. Seuss books. But again, the message it sends off is wrong. Reading it in your future classroom may spark some trouble with students’ parents if they don’t agree with this book.

Santa -Claus- Bruce (Mother Bruce Series-Book #5)

  Title: Santa Bruce Author: Ryan T. Higgins Published by Disney Press (2015)   In this story, Bruce is still a mother to geese and a friend to the mice. Bruce wants to hibernate all through the winter, like any other bear. But he is not like the other bears. Instead, the geese and mice have other holiday plans for him …   Another great read and a great laugh! Higgins never fails to make you laugh while reading this series. Illustrations are on point, like always! In this book, there are a lot of jokes that connect more to the parents or adults reading the story. Somethings the children would not understand. I love how this book shows spending time with family on holidays. Even if they are animals!    I rate this book a five out of five. This would be a great book to read to students around Christmas time! Or holidays in general.

Title: There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Fly Author: Simms Taback Published by Penguin Young Readers Group (1997)   There was an old lady who swallowed a fly, by she didn’t stop there. She kept swallowing different things … until …. can you guess what happened next?   Absolutely love this book! The pictures and layouts are just so fun! This book is a great repetition and guessing game. Every time she swallows something, you can try to guess what you think she will swallow next. This is such a fun read-aloud book for young children. The stomach cut-out in the book is so cool, once you flip the page you can see what is in the old lady’s stomach.    I rate this book a five out of five stars. The energy and enthusiasm you can have to book is great for young and even older children! I know I still enjoy it.
