Title: this book has a horrible message.
Review: I remembered loving this book as a child, but after reading it again after many years, I found it grotesquely disturbing. I almost felt like crying after seeing the way the tree was abused by the self-centered, greedy kid who never showed any gratitude for all the tree gave to him. It disturbingly gave me the idea that this was a metaphor for a married couple where the husband beats and neglects his wife. I know this book has a moral where people should give unconditionally, but this is a ridiculous mockery of that.
