He brings back fond memories of youth and rhyme. The Giving Tree was the first book I read that touched me on a personal and emotional level. I remember being thoroughly sad at the end, something that had never occurred to me from reading. ( I was probably 5 or 6) For me, I find his poetry ageless; going back to read them 10 years later I still find the same amount of amusement/entertainment if not more. His poems are still amazing and creative, the illustrations captivating and lively.

Ha! XD
Seriously, The Giving Tree is such inspiration for me and has been since I was little (yeah, back when the earth cooled :P). It's just such a sweet tale. |
