"And The Tree Was Self-Destructively Obsessed With The Boy..."

Date of Review:  Aug 28, 2007
The Bottom Line: Although I am baffled and somewhat disturbed by this tale of dependency, it is still a masterpiece my daughter enjoys.
Review: "Once there was a tree ... and she loved a little boy."

I think I am supposed to love Shel Silverstein's "The Giving Tree". Although my feelings toward the book are complicated, in many ways, I do love it. Mothers have read this story of...

Date of Review:  May 28, 2000
Review: Many people may find this hard to believe, but I performed as a mime when I was in college. White face, red lips, black shirt, white pants. Yep. That was my creative outlet back then. Once or twice a week, I would clear some room on my busy schedule...

Great children's book for all ages

Date of Review:  Feb 3, 2000
Review: Shel Silverstein is quite well known in children's literature and poetry, mainly because his works appeal to both children and adults. One of my favorites is The Giving Tree.

Hardcover, The Giving Tree
The Giving Tree by Shel SilversteinThe apple tree gives and gives to her cherished friend, a boy who thoughtlessly takes and takes until one is a stump and the other a tired old man. There are no answers provided in this wonderfully told tale, no easy lessons. And perhaps for that reason, you and your child may never forget The Giving Tree.

Hardcover, 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+
