An Earth Day appropriate tool

Dr. Seuss’s classic tale comes to life in The Lorax, an Earth Day-appropriate app, which can take as many rereadings as your old bound copy ever could. Readers of all ages have the option of having the book read to them or to jump in the driving (er, page-turning) seat themselves while the app augments the story’s famous illustrations with sound effects.
You can also tap on the book’s words and pictures to have a narrator help you build your vocabulary as you go through this delightful but cautionary tale. If you don’t think that e-books can compete with the old-fashioned kind, then this app probably isn’t for you. But it is a fun way to share this classic with a new generation. You can even record your own narration to accompany the book. $1.99, for iOS and Android devices, plus the Nook.
