[quote=Anonymous]Loved the book as a kid. Read it as an adult when my first kid was about 2 years old, and was horrified. Totally anthropomorphised the tree as a mother. But my DD loved it, and kept asking for it, so I kept reading it, and searching for new meanings/interpretations. Finally landed on one that's pretty simple: The Giving Tree is always happy. The man is never happy. It feels good to give and share with the people we love. If the man had shared too, instead of always taking, he would've been happier![/quote]
