Title: Dangerous Message
Review: I suppose I malign "The Giving Tree" at my own risk, but here goes. The message in the book is not one we can afford to give our children (or adults) anymore. Our environment is suffering such serious degradation from our taking (its "giving"), and a book like this only reinforces a selfless, limitless idea of nature where the environment can give and give to support not only our basic needs, but our greed and needless desires, without real life consequences. The message is great, but the the vehicle used to convey it is no longer appropriate for a nation and world that needs to wake-up to what's happening on this small planet.
