Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is the colour of the Once-ler's arms?

Answer: Green

His arms are the only parts of his body that are shown. It has been argued whether he is some kind of different species or just a human man wearing green gloves.

2. What is the name of the boy who visits the Once-ler?

Answer: It is never specified in the book

The boy is the one the Once-ler gives the very last Truffula seed to.

3. What does the Once-ler do with what you've paid him?

Answer: Hides it in his Snuvv

Dr. Seuss describes it as 'the secret strange hole in his gruvvulous glove'.

4. What are the birds of the forest called?

Answer: Swomme-Swans

They are the ones who get driven out by the smog.

5. What colour was the first 'Thneed' knitted by the Once-ler?

Answer: Pink

Most of the 'Thneeds' were pink. However, different colours, like yellow and orange, are shown as well.

6. What did the Once-ler not mention the Thneed was capable of turning into?

Answer: Skirt

The Once-ler mentioned several things including: a shirt, a sock, a glove, a hat, carpets, pillows, sheets, curtains, and covers for bicycle seats.

7. What machine did the Once-ler invent which allowed him to chop four trees at a time?

Answer: The Super-Axe-Hacker

You can tell the Once-ler was a greedy and heartless being for carelessly chopping down all the beautiful trees of the forest for his financial gain.

8. What transportation device did the Once-ler come into the forest with?

Answer: A wagon

The Once-ler's humble wagon shows us he wasn't very rich before he invented the 'Thneed'.

9. After the Once-ler finished knitting his 'Thneed', he saw the Lorax come out of somewhere. What did he come out of?

Answer: A tree stump

The Lorax was appalled to see that the Once-ler had turned a beautiful Truffula tuft into a strange looking, tangly 'Thneed'.

10. Finish this line: "Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot nothing is going to get better...."

Answer: It's not

After he departed, the Lorax left the word 'Unless' on a pile of rocks for the Once-ler to think about. After years of trying to figure out what it meant, the Once-ler finally knows why he put it there. He gives the boy a Truffula seed, and the story ends on a positive note with the mystery of whether or not the Lorax returns.
