The Lorax

Children across the country will be celebrating Read Across America Day. It also just so happens to be the birthday of Dr.Seuss and... the new film The Lorax will hit theaters. Coincidence? I think not! I plan on spending the day reading The Lorax in the reading lab at Trouble's school. I'll be reading it about 10 times which means I will most certainly be a rhyming fool by the end of the day. Besides reading, we will be handing out some goodies to help the kiddos connect to the book.

We have brightly colored Truffula Trees.


The Lorax himself will be in attendance if you please.

Swomee-Swans might find a space...


and the Brown Bar-ba-loots will be in their place.

Humming-Fish might just splash around.

And a pile of rocks with UNLESS can be found.

I just couldn't resist rhyming. Sorry! The Swomee-Swans are really chicks cheese crackers found at Target, Brown Bar-ba-loots are chocolate Teddy Grahams and of course the Humming-Fish are goldfish crackers.


The Lorax mustashes are simply taped to pencils.

Happy Birthday Dr.Seuss!!

  1. Cute! I think the Lorax is going to be my son's first movie in the theatre.

  2. I had to check this out. I have the same birthday as Dr. Suess.:0) I love that the movie release allows us to celebrate him for a longer span of time and not just one day. Your idea is so simple and inexpensive which is the BEST to me.
