'Once there was a treeand 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 trunkand the tree was happy. 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.. But as the boy grew older he began to want more from the tree, and the tree gave and gave and gave.This is a
When the boy is old, too old and sad to play in the tree, he asks the tree for a boat. He unthinkingly does it. "And the tree was happy." While the message of this book is unclear (Take and take and take? Give and give and give? Complete self-sacrifice is good? Complete self-sacrifice is infinitely sad?), Silverstein has perhaps deliberately left the book open to interpretation. When he asks for a house, she offers her branches for lumber. + T." "And then the tree was happy but not really." When there's nothing left of her, the boy returns again as an old man, needing a quiet place to sit and rest. To say that this particular apple tree is a "giving tree" is an understatement. Making the boy happy makes the tree happy, but with time it becomes more challenging for the generous tree to meet his needs. The stump offers up her services, and he sits on it. (All ages) --Karin Snelson. In Shel Silverstein's popular tale of few words and simple line drawings,

Or even all at once.It has turned into a discussion b. Pokemom said So many lessons in this story!. One of my favorite books as a child, and now I read it to my children.This story teaches the reader the importance of giving generously, without expecting anything in return. Even though the child in this story doesn't seem to show a lot of gratitude (teaching moment when I'm reading to my kids I ask them how they would treat the tree if they were the little boy), it shows that a giving heart is always beautiful, always worthwhile to someone who needs them. Sadly, there are people in this world who will take and take, until you have nothing left to give, and then they will turn their noses up at you and find another "sucker" to. Miss Winter said Barely Needs A Review. Timeless Cherished Classic.. I am a grown woman and this children's book still makes me cry everytime. I got the hard bound addition so my kids could hold onto it. I have optimism it won't get destroyed. The Giving Tree is a must read. It teaches empathy, love, altruism, and touches on human greed. The tree should have a bit more self respect, but we all know the tree is basically a representation of parenting and we never stop giving, do we? It's a wonderful tale, and the closest explanation of a parents love for a child as we can put into words and pictures. I believe this is a beautiful book that will be cherished generation to generation. The Giving Tr
