The Giving Tree

The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein is a wonderful classic children's books that tells a story of unconditional love by a very generous tree. In Roo's school work from the week, this came home:

Besides writing on the branches of the tree diagrams "What can a tree give us?", and "What can we give a tree?", Roo wrote a summary of his reaction to the book; " I was sad because the tree was only a stump. I would change the end because I wanted the tree to be big" . His sentiment, expressed simply, captures a typical emotion to the story's end.
