The Giving Tree Quotes

"Once there was a tree...and she loved a little boy." That is the first Line in the award

winning children's book "The Giving Tree." The giving tree has many themes in it to show your

children about Generosity, Friendship, Love, Sacrifice, and greed. It is a great Book to show

your kids many amazing things. The giving tree is one of the best children's book out there and

shows many different themes.

The giving tree is one of the best children's books Because it shows your child real life

scenarios using personification. One of the themes is greed, the little boy represented greed.

The tree gave all that she could until the boy was happy, even though all she was, was an old

stump. The boy was very greedy towards her, taking all that she had. "I wish

that I could give
you something....

but I have nothing left. I am just an old stump. I am sorry...." ( Page 5. ) The

quote is the tree saying she is sorry because she gave all that she could, because the little boy

was greedy and took all that she had. She was apologizing for what he should have been

apologizing for. That shows how generous the tree is and how greedy the boy is. The Giving

Tree shows that if you aren't happy with what you have and only focus on what you don’t have,

eventually what you have will fade away.

While the giving tree is showing your kids things they need to know for life, it is as well a

very fun book for them to read. It allows them to burst into their imagination. The Giving Tree

can be a fun book for kids to read because it shows things that they like to do also. Like eat the

apples or swing on the branches. "He would climb up her trunk and swing from her branches

and eat apples." ( Page 1 ).It is one of the best children's books out there and one of the

reasons for that is because it is fun for children to read. The giving tree is good to entertain kids

or to read to them at night before they go to sleep or any other time.

Last but not least, The Giving Tree has many valuable themes in it. When your child

generosity, and greed are. While reading, this book can show a lot of themes. Using these
themes and understanding them, it can help you child have better friendships, what it means to
love someone or something, what sacrifice is, when and how to be generous, and what it can
feel like when someone is greedy. "Well, an old stump is good for sitting and resting. Come,
Boy, sit down. Sit down and rest" "And the boy did. And the tree was happy" ( Page – 5 ) This
quote shows love, sacrifice, friendship, and generosity. It shows all of those 4 themes because
the tree loves the boy, and she sacrificed everything she had, so that he would be happy. She
was very generous in the things that she gave him. Even in the end she still loved him and
allowed him to sit on her trunk. She has been such a good friend toward him. All of these
