The Giving Tree



by Shel Silverstein

Sure, we've probably all read this book, but I love it.  I used to love it because I believed it taught about the importance of being environmentally responsible.  If we keep taking from the environment, all that we're eventually left with is a stump.  
Now that I'm a mother, it offers me a whole new story, one that makes me cry through -pretty much- the whole book as I read it to my kids.  Just enjoy letting your kids see that books are meant to evoke emotion.  It isn't a good book unless it makes you feel something.

You may have tangible wealth untold;
Caskets of jewels and coffers of gold.
Richer than I you can never be--
I had a Mother who read to me.

- excerpt from "The Reading Mother" by Stricklan Gillilan
