Title: This book made me sad. Not recommended for sensitive children.
Review: I read this book as a child (circa age 6 or 7, maybe 8) and I could not understand WHY the boy was so mean and hurtful to the tree, or WHY the tree apparently didn't mind being killed and used. I just couldn't understand it. The story made me sad, and even angry. As I became older, I could see what the author was (maybe?) getting at - entirely selfless love and selfishness...both are not good paths to take. However, I don't think that pre-teen kids can really get this message, especially sensitive kids. I honestly think this is a book for teens or adults, not kids.
