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.

For I am cool like that. poems are so much cooler when read aloud, especially shel's. the rhyming is more evident and in general just kinda brings it to life. eh I'm beginning to sound like a fifth grade english teacher.."ALRIGHT KIDS! LET'S READ POEMS! TEEHEE" bah. |
