A delightful fable of a boy and a tree growing up - and growing old together. Many parallels can be drawn from parental approaches, to environmental concerns. It's a story that teaches the value of unconditional love, and profound respect. An interesting essay on mankind, Silverstien skillfully incorporates material need and emotional stability into the text in an easy-to-understand and child-like manner. And what's more; it's the best (and most important) children's story that I've ever read!

I love this book! This book is the story of all the things that a parent provides for their child: love, attention, and comfort. The tree is the "parent" and gives to the child all that it can, until it has no more to give and what a parent expects in return...the child's happiness, in order to be happy.

This book wraps up many beautiful teaching about life. It is excellent for people of all ages and from all over the world. I highly recommend this book.

The giving tree was my favorite book as a child. No other story that I have read since has created for me that same magic. I belive that this book is one that every child should own.

I believe that Mr. Silverstein had a Divine Intervention while his creative jucies were flowing (or he got lucky). Simply put...this is the best book ever written. It is a prized posession. They should come out with an anniversary special edition (hardback or something

This is one of my favorite children's books. Sweet and a little sad. I'm an intermediate Spanish speaker and this book is great for learners. We also own the English version, so it is nice to see how it translates from one language to the other.

I'm a mother of two , Just got the book ,I have been reading it to them every night. It breinges tears to my eyes every time I read it ...I know I'll keep this book for ever ..not just for my kids but even for thier own kids ....

This is probably one of my favorite books of all time! This has the exact significance in Spanish as it does in English. The book is high quality and I would buy it again for my son. It has a great lesson about nature and I think that's important for children (everyone).

Love love love this book. The best part is my daughter does too. She is 3 but we read it very often. Has a good lesson which I love. Everyone needs to own this one. I would have paid double what they were asking that's how much I think its worth every penny

I bought this for my 5 year old brother after hearing great things about it. I had looked at in the the store one time but thought that maybe it was just too plain and simple. Turns out that my brother loves it! The moral of the story is so humane; it teaches us to give without expecting anything in return. I think this book teaches a very valuable lesson. I bought in in spanish since we are trying to raise my brother bilingual, and now I know it was a great purchase and highly recommend it!!
