All-time classic
This book is one of those rare tales that works wonderfully for a bedtime read by mom or dad, or the child - but delivers a very sophisticated and adult life lesson about the price of taking too much without giving back. It's an allegory about resources of every kind - emotional or natural - and how they can so easily be depleted and never regained...Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Best lesson for life
This book is a treasure for young and old. It gives a powerful life lesson of sharing and caring, and giving those you love all you can. I truly recommend it for children to help them to navigate how to live their life, and for me as an adult it is a reminder of both my childhood and how I choose to live my life.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Wonderful Book
I love The Giving Tree book and always have. It's an excellent book to read to children and also teaches them about how much it can hurt anyone to just take and take instead of giving back.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great condition!
Very cute. I wanted a copy just to keep on my office shelf. The book is in great condition, with just the smallest bit of sun fading on the bottom of the cover. In fact, there is a note stating it was originally a gift in 1996, and I could not believe it was that old. I am very happy with the purchase.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
