Some people are suggesting Shel Silverstein was a subversive genius sensitive to women's plight in The Giving Tree. Unfortunately I don't think so. https://t.co/mk8leyqeSF https://t.co/bDstjnfuLu

I'm gifting this article so you can read the delicious description of Shel Silverstein's dreadful book The Giving Tree. Other books are reviewed, too. Silverstein was a treasured part of our classroom--except for that book. https://t.co/S8IOdbNQR2
Praise for this book
"If you're looking for a children's book that teaches generosity or unselfishness, most people will point you right to The Giving Tree, Shel Silverstein's lovely story of a tree that will do anything for the boy it loves--and for good reason. This classic is always a good place to start." -- Brightly
