Happy Birthday Dr Seuss!

Theodor Seuss Geisel (2 March 1904 - 24 September 1991) better known by his pen name, Dr. Seuss, was a famous American writer and cartoonist best known for his children's books.


"I am the Lorax, I speak for the trees.
I speak for the trees, for the trees have no tongues
,
And I'm asking you, sir, at the top of my lungs" --
He was very upset as he shouted and puffed --
"What's that THING you've made out of my Truffula tuft?"
  • Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
    nothing is going to get better. It's not.
  • Catch! calls the Once-ler.
    He lets something fall.
    It's a Truffula Seed.
    It's the last one of all!
    You're in charge of the last of the Truffula Seeds.
    And Truffula Trees are what everyone needs.
    Plant a new Truffula. Treat it with care.
    Give it clean water. And feed it fresh air.
    Grow a forest. Protect it from axes that hack.
    Then the Lorax
    and all of his friends
    may come back.
