Title: Horrible message?
Review: Those who say children should not read this book obviously never read it as a child. I was loved the story, as much as I was saddened by it. The goodness of the tree and the selfishness of the boy really touched me. Any child can see that they are not being told to be selfish just like the boy, but that they should strive to appreciate all that people do for them. Even as a preschool child that message went right home to me and I've never forgotten it. Thanks, Shel Silverstein.
