The Lorax (Dr. Seuss' environmental hero) is back to teach us about insects. They pollinate, the eat other pests or weeds, and some are even food for larger animals. Insects, like monarch butterflies are losing their habitat. Butterflies are pollinators as are bees. Weed killer can also kill bees. Ladybugs help control aphids, other insects help break down dead animals.
The text is reminiscent of Seuss rhymes, as are the illustrations. I liked the "did you know" text boxes that also show photographs of the insects. Pictures are also incorporated into the illustrations which is cool. Includes tips for how you can help, instructions for making a bee house, link to relevant organizations and websites as well as a glossary and an index.
