Editorial Review of 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 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.
Ages 10+

Review Summary: A Changing Lesson for EVERY Age
Review: Every child and adult should have this book.
There are many controversies about The Giving Tree, many will write that it is a self-less act of love, an issue with co-dependency, or may even send a bad example of relationships with creating selfish children/adults.
I think one of the greatest things about this story is that you can interpret it differently at evolving life stages.
From a child who sees a self-less act of love to an adult who has been in a troubled relationship (much like the tree and the boy).
Regardless, I believe that this story clearly shows 2 sides of A relationship, and if the the reader feels bad for the tree - it is a way to learn how to appreciate and recognize such unconditional love. To always be thankful.

Review Summary: The Giving Tree
Review: This book was purchased for my 7 year old grandaughter who kept taking book from the library. We thought purchasing the book she loved so much was a wonderful way to show her that giving can help others in life. She was so pleased to read book, and now to hear the authors voice along with the book makes it even more special.
