    Classic

    One of the most beautiful printings of a timeless classic. This is the perfect version of this beloved story to pass along to friends & family — small and compact with a cloth cover and slipcase. Highest recommendation!

    the Giving Tree;

    A bittersweet but wonderful story about life and the power of love. Personally I view the tree as if it were one or both his parent/s. They would give their all for their child. This story does not grow old.

    Book instead of card

    Book is awesome. A note was placed into the book for our first great grandson who will be born in January. The book was used instead of a greeting card for the baby shower. My grandmother use to read this story to me. Now my great grandson can have it read to him.
