The Giving Tree
"Once there was a tree . . . and she loved a little boy." So begins a story of unforgettable perception, beautifully written and illustrated by the gifted and versatile Shel Silverstein. Every day the boy would come to the tree to eat her apples, swing from her branches, or slide down her trunk . . . and the tree was happy. But as the boy grew older he began to want more from the tree, and the tree gave and gave. This is a tender story, touched with sadness, aglow with consolation. Shel Silverstein has created a moving parable for readers of all ages that offers an affecting interpretation of the gift of giving and a serene acceptance of another?s capacity to love in return.

This is a GREAT children's book that teaches a lot about giving and realizing the cost to others when they are generous to you. My 7 year old cries everytime she reads it, and she loves it.

The Giving Tree is a favourite book of mine--one I've been trying to get hold of for many years. A beautiful story about the relationship between a tree and boy as he grows older. The illustrations are very simple, but the main feature...

- My Kids Turned This Into A Great Discussion
I really didn't like this book as I read it to my second grade class but the discussion my children had after the story was amazing. Basically, my kids thought it was a lesson on bad parenting and selfishness. They thought if the tree...

- Not the right message for my kids
I have to say, I don't understand the rave reviews for The Giving Tree. I think the messages in children's books resonate in their little souls for years to come. I try to give them an appropriately broad and thoughtful array. I'm not...
