Thanks OP!
Sometimes books with pictures don't format on Kindle so well. The text is often tiny and can't be reformatted. Has anyone viewed this version yet that can comment?

Such a classic book and deeply engrained in my childhood memories. This and Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark really played a big part in expanding my imagination, and I can't wait to share with my daughter

Nice find! I'm a teacher and I use the Kindle App on my MacBook to project these ebooks onto the screen during read aloud. Silverstein books are fantastic!

The kindle version is as you described. On my iOS kindle app, I can't pinch to zoom which is frustrating. The double-tap zoom feature does work, but the zoom isn't large enough for me. No way to change the font or size. I know it's only 2 bux, but I'd rather have it as a PDF. That way, I could zoom properly.

You realize The Giving Tree is meant to be a cautionary tale, right?

Yes, I concur with that, hence, the satirical title that I and others have assigned to it laugh out loud

Ive learned from taking enough English lit classes, talking to moms, randoms on the internet, and having my own kids, that interpretation is everything, and that the author (or reader) has no control over that; whether the interpretation is "right" or not, its more or less irrelevant. It is like trying to convince someone that a joke is funny. Too many have interpreted it (and foisted it upon others) as a model/paragon of selfless love. You cant make this sh!t up Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)

I like to think the guy dies sitting on the tree lonely and miserable. The tree then grows a lone sprout, which grows into a giant new tree that doesn't take any crap from needy jerks.
