Animals for Show and Pleasure in Ancient Rome
by Grant Showerman
If I ran the Zoo by Dr. Seuss
"The Horse Stealers" (shor story)
by Anton Chekhov
The Lorax, The Butter Battle Book, The Cat in the Hat and The Cat in the Hat Comes Back!
My kids no longer read them, their too old, I'm keeping them for any grandkids or little ones that might need a Dr Seuss moment.
I'm still looking for TPBM me is sipping a glass of Red Wine ... I was reminded of The Lorax, too, although that's not about aliens.
Book #1 might be A River Ran Wild by Lynne Cherry. I don't remember about the turtle rock, but it does tell the environmental history of a river from early American times to the present. Book #2 reminds me of Dr. Seuss's The Lorax - not exactly the same but maybe your book also reminded you of this story and that's why you thought it was a Dr. Seuss book?
Just a thought. K, Yay you got The Lorax! It's great! I have similar plans for myself tonight. Though I'm on my way to get a bowl of ice cream to go with my chocolate. :)
I've been wanting to read Pillage, cmbohn! I'm glad to hear you liked it.

I think I'm going to bury myself in books tonight. I don't know yet how well I will hold focus so I may read The Lorax and any number of short books I have. There are still five hours till I can sleep tonight. ... be the very proud sister. :)
RE: The History of Now
I'm still waiting on my copy. It was sent on Saturday with The Lorax.

Seriously, you would really like it and the newest editions are printed on recycled paper, which is doubly awesome! 281- *gasp* Are those truffula trees? I love truffula trees!
JP would like to add that she loves The Lorax (she's being miserly with her last two posts of the month). Sort of. More of The Lorax, but they are also seen in the Horton books and other Seuss books. ... I do ask him why he doesn't like that particular title. It can take several reading for him to enjoy some books/authors - Dr Seuss for example.
