I was given this book as a gift when I was pregnant with my oldest son. So it has been a part of me for quite a long time.
The story shows a giving tree always available to give to the child until it is nothing more than a stump.
There have been many interpretations to the story - many seeing the tree as a mother figure showing her unending devotion to her child.
Considering that this was a gift to me while I was pregnant that seems wonderful, but then again, was I being warned that this child would be taking from me for the rest of my life?! I think all mothers know the answer to that question!
We also know that caregiving isn't exclusively a gendered attribute, so it could easily represent parental or caregiver devotion.
What about the needs of the tree?
The tree gives us the perfect example of unconditional love.
Does that mean that there is an unhealthy relationship between this child and the tree?
Maybe, in reading this book to or with a child, we can take the opportunity to play teacher to the kids we read it to or with - like...let us learn to say thank you for all this wonderful giving.
A teachable moment, yes? 4.5 stars.

I love this book. I think it's important to note, that this book really shows selfless love, the idea of boundaries should be enforced as well.
This is a lovely children's book, however I think many adults would be improved by reading it. The message is clear and important.
Shel Silverstein made a simple, yet amazing book! This cute poetry book is about a little boy who goes to the giving tree and always takes something from her. It makes The Giving Tree happy that so she doesn't mind. The story progresses until the little boy is an old man and the tree is no longer a tree, but a stump. The the old man uses the stump as a chair and the giving tree was still happy. This is such a feel good story that will make you smile. I loved the way the little boy stuck by the tree his whole life and always had a purpose for the tree, even though he was using her. The friendship they build is inseparable. I loved the story this poetry book told. This book reminded me of a parent's love for their kids and it made me reflect on my relationship with my mom and how she is always there for me even though I am not the best kid.
