I used to love this book so I bought this for my children. I only liked the story but the condition of CD was horrible so I do not want to recommend this one.
This book provides such a valuable lesson in such a simple way. A must have for all.
I, like many others out there, see the positive in a story that was written for a light-hearted audience. As a student of psychology, I can say that interpretations stem from some personal perspective that one relates to in one way or another.
Having read this when I was a young kid, I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed the book. After reading a few reviews for this book, I thought I'd like to share my perspective.
Having heard from both sides stating that the book was either a story that depicted selfishness or caring, I personally see it as a caring story. What I find kind of disturbing are the negative comments of this book.
Honestly, I believe the magic of this book comes from its ability to present a story in which the audience can choose to interpret it however he or she wishes. So I honestly hope that the people who perceive this story as having a negative message have a clear rationale for doing so.
The giving tree lives on in heart.
I loved this book as a kid and just bought it for my sister's upcoming baby.
I have known and loved this book for as long as I can remember, and I ordered this copy as a gift for a friend. Even though she is an adult, and this is a children's book, she was touched by its message of how to care for someone and be cared for in return.just as I have always been. This book is Shel Silverstein's masterpiece.
