The Giving Tree
There are many reasons why books are being produced, such as entertainments for many children and adults, teaching life values, directions for doing certain things, learning about history, etc. When I was 6 years old, I remember there were always books lying around and I’d read all the books with the colorful and interesting covers and skip all the ones that are dull and left them lying in the corner of the bookshelf for months or years. When I was 8 years old, I picked up one of the books that left in the corner for a while. It was called, The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein. The color of this book attracted my attention because its cover was bold and all green colored.
