The Lorax (Classic Seuss)
Dr. Seuss, Theodor Seuss Geisel
Random House Books for Young Readers, 1971
I guess I'm a tree-hugger
Okay, so this is probably as preachy as Dr. Suess gets, and it just might get on the nerves of some people, but the tree hugger in me salutes him for it, even as he paints a grimmer picture of environmental destruction than Al Gore ever thought of.

Magic Carpet Books, 2003
My childhood
I grew up with these books but had not read them in a while. They were just as I remembered them as a kid. But I liked the new cartoon artwork on the covers, especially of Killer the "rabbit?"
It was a journey back in time.

A Field Guide to Eastern Trees
I bought this for my husband for Christmas. He was blown away by all the information this little book contained. The only thing he said that he didn't care for was that some of the pictures were in black and white and he would have prefered all colored pictures.
