Cherise Grismore

This is a bad book for kids honestly! There is so much wrong in it that I don't understand how people can read it too kids! The boy keeps on taking everything he needs without showing any gratitude! And isn't that what we are trying to teach our kids NOT to do! We teach them how to say thank you but this book just goes against it! The tree just gives everything she has to offer just to please the selfish boy! Again that is something we are trying NOT to teach our kids! We are trying to make sure that they know their worth and this is pointing out a message of a tree not knowing her worth (honestly we all know how much trees are worth because in the end they help us survive). This book could have been illustrated in a better way and it definitely gives the wrong message. Kids always look for a role model and neither the tree or the boy is a good role model to children!
