The giving tree was a bit morbid and I read that at the dentist's office last year... I think a mature child in at least 5th grade might be able to understand the underlying concept of selfishness, but it was so heavy-handed that I wouldn't want a pre-schooler-3rd grader to read it, it's quite depressing and one of those books where the child might get upset even though there's no 'scary-stuff' and it's marketted as a book for young readers but it was too wierd.
