The Giving Tree

by Shel Silverstein
Recommended reading ages: 4-6 years
Lexile measure: 530L
The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein  Recommended reading ages: 4-6 years Lexile measure: 530L  The Giving Tree is a short children’s picture book by American writer Shel Silverstein. It tells a simple tale of the relationship between a tree and a boy. As the boy grows from childhood to old age, the tree selflessly gives up its apples, branches and trunk in order to make him happy. The themes of love, generosity and selflessness in Silverstein’s book have made it a classic children’s fable, teaching young readers about the joys of giving.  With simple vocabulary, sentence structure and plot, young readers will find it easy to understand and enjoy Silverstein’s tale. The story is also accompanied by drawings on every page that help to convey the story and keep young readers’ interest.  The book also opens up a valuable discussion about generosity versus greediness. While younger children often enjoy the book as a sweet tale of selfless love, older readers can use their critical thinking skills to consider whether they believe the tree is right to give away all it has to the boy, and whether the boy takes the tree’s generosity for granted. Readers can also reflect on the different desires the boy has as he grows older and asks the tree for money, a house, a boat, and other material wants, and discuss which of these they think is most important. In this way The Giving Tree is appropriate both for a wide range of ages and can challenge readers to reflect on right and wrong in relationships with family and friends.
