Isn't it amazing--the Lorax was one of MY favorite books when I was a child, and now my children can recite most of it by heart. And they have choice things to say when we drive past the city factories and they see factories with their "smoggity-smog" and "gluppity-glupp"... Thanks for this list! Mind if I link you to my blog? --Jem
