The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein

The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein is a great book for all ages. It was published in February of 1986, but still remains a favorite book today. The Giving Tree is a parable about the gift of giving and the capacity to love, told throughout the life of a boy who grows to manhood and a tree that selflessly gives him her bounty through the years.

This book was one of my favorite books growing up, and I think my favorite part was the illustrations. This book is one of those books where without the illustrations, it would not be the same. The intended ages are said to be four to eight year olds, but I am a firm believer that this book is a book for all the ages!
