Ex Situ: The Lorax’s Real Message

The pugilistic Super Punch blog has decided that the underlying message of Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax isn’t quite as obvious as it seems…

We were all clearly supposed to come away with the message that protecting nature is good and building factories is bad. According to Wikipedia, the book has even been banned for being too anti-industry. But after reading The Lorax a few dozen times to my son, I’ve realized the story is actually a pretty damning indictment of the Lorax, and the environmentalists he represents.
