when i was learning how to read, this was the first book i read all by myself. and the first book i fully understood, i loved it, i still cry when reading it, because i know that i could never give as much as that tree.
When I was pregnant, I bought this book to read to my daughter. I just new it was a must-have for our collection. Silverstein so simply puts the feelings that a mother will have for her child, or how anyone who loves will give for the one of their affection. Give and give, and happily give until the end.
What a beautiful moral of boundaries neatly wrapped in packaging of love and acceptance.
When I was a child, I'd have my mother check this book out from the library, again and again. On my 18th Christmas, my mother presented me with my very own copy. Now, at 36, I read the book over and over to my daughter.
This book is wonderful! This was the first book I read to my little brother and he has loved it ever since. He is 9 now and we still share reading this book but now he reads it to me.
Love it!
