slonep 's review for:
The Giving Tree
by Shel Silverstein
A book about a boy that is apparently a pathalogical taker and a female tree that constantly gives him whatever he wants without any boundaries whatsoever in order to keep him with her until finally the little boy becomes an old man and the tree becomes a stump and then he sits on her "and the tree was happy". If someone tries to tell me that this is a beautiful example of the mother/child relationship I will LOSE IT. And probably never have children. Way to introduce some messed up relationship models into early childhood Shel. Ick.
