[quote=Anonymous]I have always loved the giving tree. No kids book can like, summarize a complex concept in its entirety. I always thought of the giving tree as a book about a very specific aspect of the parent/child relationship in that the tree was rock of reliability for the boy. He could always count on the tree to be there no matter what had happened in the past. I think we all hope to give that inherent sense of reliability to our kids. My parents were not particularly reliable and so I always looked at the giving tree as a kind of ideal. Obviously you grow up and realize your parents are people who are imperfect and what not but in an ideal world, you'd still be able to count on their help and council in times of need. So interesting how many people read it differently, I think how you feel about it must have something to do with your own parents in some way![/quote]
