Awards: Kid's Choice Award for Favorite Book
Grade Level: Kinder - 3rd grade
The Tree loved the little boy, but as the little boy grew up things started to change. The love of the Tree and little boy weakened due to the ungrateful boy always expecting something in return. The Tree gives away her apples, her branches, and her trunk just to make the boy happy. The tree has nothing but love to give her once little boy. The little boy grew up, and visited the Tree when she had nothing. The Tree and the old man accompanied each other, and were very happy.
This book would be a perfect read aloud to many young grades, Kindergarten through 3rd grade. This book would be well in an independent reading center. The readability is fairly easy to use. The Giving Tree also portrays a message about being greedy or taking advantage of someone. I perfer books that have a theme or message to convey about real life. The Giving Tree is an easy read that teachers a lesson.
