This Is one of those stories that seems like just that, a simple story.  However, it goes so much deeper.  Reading this to a small child, the younger child will see that it is a book about how plants grow and how man decided to destroy it.  They will then see the results were not what man expected.  For the older child who will question, why man wanted it cut down and made it illegal, you've opened up a chance for complex dialogue.  This book doesn't set off to cause conflict.  It sets the readers up to question the reasons behind why man does some of the things they do and how God/Nature has a way of thwarting man's plans.  Great little story.
