Title: "The Giving Tree"
Author: Shel Silverstein
Genre: Fantasy/Fable
Grade level: 3yrs. to ?... I still read it.
Characters: A boy, a tree
Summary: A little boy utilizes a tree from childhood to old age. The story takes you through the different phases of the boy's life and needs from the tree. The tree always gives everything that it possibly can. The little boy ages into a old man who comes back to the tree and accepts that the tree has nothing left to give but rest to the old man. I think the story teaches the moral of sharing and giving of oneself. I also think it illustrates how some people take without ever giving back. I think children can learn a lot about how to treat others with this story.
