FIRST SENTENCE: Once there was a tree...
SUMMARY: [From barnesandnoble.com] A classic book for all ages—for mothers and fathers! A moving parable about the gift of giving and the capacity to love, told throughout the life of a boy who grows to manhood and a tree that selflessly gives him her bounty through the years.
THOUGHTS: I remember liking this book as a child, but I thin its even more important to read as an adult. It holds more meaning when you can actually see the sacrifice (and the selfishness) in this book. This is one of those stories where the meaning changes every time your read it.
RATING: 7/10 [Very Good]
