Pros

    teaches morals, a classic

This is a story I have loved since my childhood and It was encouraged by my fourth grade teacher who would read to us. I'm concerned that I read reviews here of people not liking it because it teaches "co-dependency" and morals. I think these are cases of adults over thinking and bringing their own issues into the story. Protecting children is the responsibillity of adults. I just hope that adults reaize when they are taking it too far and that they have friends who will stand up and tell them so. I certainly have nothing but fondness for Shel Silverstein's works.

I agree that people are bringing their issues into a children's book. Children do need black and white lessons and the tree gives up everything for someone else. In today's world, that is an important lesson for children.
