About this product

Product Information

From Shel Silverstein, New York Times bestselling author of Where the Sidewalk Ends and A Light in the Attic, comes a poignant picture book about love and acceptance, cherished for over fifty years. This classic is perfect for both young readers and lifelong fans. "Once there was a tree...and she loved a little boy." So begins a story of unforgettable perception, beautifully written and illustrated by the gifted and versatile Shel Silverstein. This moving parable for all ages offers a touching interpretation of the gift of giving and a serene acceptance of another's capacity to love in return. Every day the boy would come to the tree to eat her apples, swing from her branches, or slide down her trunk...and the tree was happy. But as the boy grew older he began to want more from the tree, and the tree gave and gave and gave. This is a tender story, touched with sadness, aglow with consolation. The Giving Tree is a meaningful gift for milestone events such as graduations, birthdays, and baby showers. Shel Silverstein's incomparable career as a bestselling children's book author and illustrator began with Lafcadio, the Lion Who Shot Back . He is also the creator of picture books including A Giraffe and a Half , Who Wants a Cheap Rhinoceros? , The Missing Piece , The Missing Piece Meets the Big O , and the perennial favorite The Giving Tree , and of classic poetry collections such as Where the Sidewalk Ends , A Light in the Attic , Falling Up , Every Thing On It , Don't Bump the Glump! , and Runny Babbit plus Runny Babbit Returns .

Condition is way better than described!! Listed as “good” but to me it’s excellent/like new. The pages look untouched and the price was unbeatable. I’m so happy to have this again to read to my daughter after losing my own original copy

More scribbles and coloring from a toddler inside than I expected, but this does fit the possible description of the item, which includes potential “highlighting” or “notes”.

    Best book to teach charity

    I bought this book for my grandchildren after owning my own copy for many years. It teaches selfless giving and my 8 and 11 year old grandsons loved it.

    One of my favorites growing up!

    My son loves this book. Just like I did. I also love the author. I have bought a few of his other books and I'm sure I still have a few put away.

    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...

    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.
