Ohhhh... the Lorax, brings on the emotion

The narration and quality of recording is top notch. Of course the story keeps you on the edge of your seat.

My 6 year old absolutely loves this book, movie and audio book. He can't get enough. I, at first, did not want to buy a short book with my credit but my son was like, "The Lorax! the Lorax!" so I caved in. Now I am quite happy we got it. And we certainly got our money's worth because we listen to it every night!

Love this story.

Ted Danson's voice is lovely and familiar narrating this story which we already love. My children love listening to it at bedtime.

Odd Music Choice

Wonderful naration, excellent pace, and well performed voices. But the music choice? Very strange: it does not fit the story well and is far too loud.

Classic

The Lorax is a classic book that my son loves to read over and over. All our children should be as environmentally concious. It always suprises me that there are people who have never read The Lorax and it is wonderful that it is available on audible.

Well-executed narration

The narration was well performed and the under-lying music wasn't distracting. We'll play this at our school for Earth Day.

Has soundtrack for entire reading duration

I love the story of the lorax, so my review does not in any way reflect the content of the story, but rather the way in which the story was presented sonically. I really prefer that the story be a rhythmic recording of the literature rather than something with a soundtrack. In this case the soundtrack sounded very cheap and took away from my overall experience of the story.

Perfect for a beginning reader!

My son likes The Lorax a lot more than I do, and now he can listen to it over and over and over again if he wants. :-) This is a great recording, with background music and sound effects that I think really add to the listening experience.

Having audio recordings of picture books like this one are really fun now that our little guy is starting to read; he can practice following along while listening, just like when we're reading together. Great value for the price!
