The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein
5.0

I love Shel Silverstein. This is such a classic! I think we have two copies. I have read it to everyone of my three kids and to their classmates when I've been invited to read to them. I still get all teary-eyed toward the end. So much tenderness is expressed. Such a nice message about loyalty and unconditional love. I've read the negative reviews; yes, I know the boy was selfish. Maybe you just have to be a parent to understand it?
