Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is not needed for the Once-ler to tell you his story?

Answer: The tongue of a shoe

You might say the Once-ler has simple tastes,
At least he didn't ask for library paste,
We don't know if he ever grimaced with distaste,
Because in the whole book we never saw his face.

2. What kind of trees did the Once-ler love?

Answer: Truffula Trees

A truffula tree is a very good tree,
It's as tall and as soft as a tree can possibly be,
You can even make clothes from it,
I guarantee.

3. What was not an animal in the land of the Trees?

Answer: Trout-Birds

The humming-fish hum,
And the swomee-swans swoom,
But you won't find a single trout-bird in the room.

4. What did the trees smell like?

Answer: Butterfly milk

You can drink milk from a cow or from a bee,
Or even have butterfly milk as a treat,
But if you check down inside your mug,
You won't see anything there from a slug.

5. What did the Once-ler make out of the tufts from the trees?

Answer: Thneeds

It's not a pair of socks,
It's not a pile of rocks,
But a thneed is so soft,
You can fold it in a box.

6. Which of these was one characteristic that the Lorax didn't have?

Answer: Youngish

The Lorax said he was there for the trees,
Cutting down the truffulas made him displeased,
He knew how to speak quite well with his tongue,
He'd had a lot of practice, he wasn't so young.

7. How do you turn on South Stitch in order to get to the Once-ler's shop?

Answer: Right

It was hard to miss the Once-ler's shop,
The place was so big it took up a whole block,
There were smokestacks and windows to give lots of light,
And you could see them all by turning to the right.

8. Which were the first animals to leave?

Answer: Bar-ba-loots

The humming-fish leave walking on their fins,
They'll walk beside you with a great big grin,
But get out of the way of the bar-ba-loots,
Or they'll run you over, you big galoot.

9. How did the Lorax leave at the end?

Answer: Through a hole in the smog

The Lorax wasn't really lighter than air,
But for dramatic exits he did have a flair,
He lifted himself up by his pants (would you try?)
And went sailing away when he saw some blue sky.

10. What did it say on the pile of rocks?

Answer: Unless

The Lorax left a message, if you please,
That we all must care for the air and the trees,
The smogulous smoke will make us all wheeze,
If we don't have some clean air to breathe,
And a view of the stars, I hope you'll agree.
