Zac Efron: Read Across America with Danny DeVito!

Zac Efron gets a little help from Danny DeVito with his Lorax-inspired mustache during the Read Across America event held at the Celeste Bartos Forum inside the New York Public Library on Friday (March 2) 2012 in New York City.

The 24-year-old actor and his Lorax costar joined hundreds of public school students and the National Education Association (NEA) to kick off the 15th annual event, which also doubles as Dr. Seuss‘ 108th birthday.

Zac, Danny and NEA President Dennis Van Roekel read from Dr. Seuss’ “The Lorax” and afterwards, the PS22 chorus sung the film’s theme song, “Let It Grow.”

Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax opens on TODAY!
