Query: Awful story

I bought the book after reading the good reviews. I read it myself before reading it to my 3 year-old son, as I always do. What a horrible story about an egocentric, self-centered child. I felt so sorry for the tree. It is so sad. How can anyone enjoy this book is beyond my understanding. The parallel some people make with parents and children makes it even worse; a son that takes, takes, takes and NEVER gives anything in return? Not even vultures do that. Nothing to be learned from it so straight to the garbage can it went. What a waste of money.
