Is The Lorax fiction or nonfiction?

Answer 1

It's a great book, and I don't think there is anything wrong with it. It encourages children (and adults) to take care of the environment. It did cause some uproar from logging advocates and specifically the Lake Erie area, which was mentioned in the text of early versions of the book. That text was later removed when people showed the dramatic improvements in the Lake Erie area to Dr. Seuss and requested that it no longer be singled out by the book.

Answer 2

The Lorax's role is to speak for the trees, and for nature... the bar-ba-loots, the hummingfish, and basically all of the environment. The lesson is that we need to notice nature and have compassion while we are seeking profit, and be willing to do something about it, rather than just destroying and abandoning and exterminating. We need to plant, and help, and encourage. Thneeds aren't evil. But maybe destroying the environment for them is.
