In celebration of Arbor Day, all of us here at First Book would like to take a moment to celebrate one of our favorite trees in literature — Shel Silverstein’s The Giving Tree. I remember reading this book as a kid and being incredibly touched by the generosity of the tree, and very angry at the kid for his selfish behavior. Anyone else have rememberences of this children’s classic?
For more information about author Shel Silverstein, check out the official site for kids at ShelSilverstein.com! It’s as fun and unique as his books, chock full of animation, e-cards, and more.
Hug a tree today!

Shel’s books were some of my absolute favorites as a child. They were always so easy to spot in the library on the shelves. I didn’t even need to use the card catalogue :) Maybe it’s time I go back to the library and pick them up again… without the card catalogue, of course!
