[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, I wouldn't say I LOVED it, but I truly hate the message in The Giving Tree.  [/quote]

Oh man, I've always thought this was a sweet message about a parent's love for their child.  You have this beautiful baby and the next thing you know you're giving up sleep because they need feedings, you give up your free time because you have to care for them, you have to share your home, your food with them.  No other person in this world are you going to make these kinds of sacrifices for, yet, as the years go by you love your child more than ever and you gladly give of yourself to them.  When they grow up you have the satisfaction of having raised them and provided them roots to continue their own growth.  Soon they will become parents to their own children and the cycle will continue.

Well at least that's the message that I get from it.  I once picked this book up for a Secret Santa gift exchange at preschool.  I hope the child's parent was o.k. with this book, I certainly didn't mean to offend![/quote]

DS7's take: the kid is a brat, the tree is lame, and the graphics are terrible

I was like, agreed! And take a look at the back cover![/quote]

My daughter takes the cover off and hides it.  Sweet dreams, kiddos!
