katheady2009 's review for:

The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein
1.0

Disappointing. And I love Shel Silverstein's poetry. But this book had no growth of the boy in it. He didn't seem to learn anything. All he did was take from the tree. And the tree gave and gave. What is the message? To give and give until you disappear? To take and take until the giver dies? And does it disturb anyone that the taker is male and the giver is female?
