I agree. The songs was one of the highlights, but like much of the Saturday show, I really thought Friday's performance was better. But, then again, I was feeling very bad on Saturday, so maybe that's why I think Saturday wasn't as good of a show.

I think people really make mistakes in assuming that "children's books" are just for children. Good books are like good music--they cross generations.

I personally don't think his works are just for children. The Giving Tree is thought provoking to anyone who reads it. I only made the association for those who may remember his work from their childhood.
