I can see how The Giving Tree can be read in two totally different ways, and the "sap" way is how I see it. I was always so jealous, as an unpublished writer, that Goodnight Moon was so popular. Always seemed kind of lame. I would stare at my kids faces as I read it, trying to ascertain what made this book so hot. I took satisfaction that it wasn't their favorite.<br /><br />How about doing one on, If You Give a Mouse a Cookie? That's another one way too popular.<br />CarolAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22755318.post-34885654566414225962010-04-01T13:10:02.820-07:002010-04-01T13:10:02.820-07:00These are too funny!
