Ah man, I forgot all about The Giving Tree. Oh Shel Silverstein, you’ll always be better than Dr. Seuss in my eyes, even if you have crappier pictures.
Granted, this book wasn’t quite as sad as the bawling Tracy Morgan makes it out to be, but that generous tree certainly did leave an impact on me when I was little. I went out and starting wacking all the tree in my yard with sticks, hoping they would give me something or turn into a boat.
love this book. i actually took it from my school library. i still read it now and again at 24 years old! stupid greedy kid sucked though!
