I Give Knowledge
I give knowledge, but don't receive it.
My brothers and I have lived many centuries, and in many places,
each with our own unique faces.
To my tall friends that made me,
I am but a mere baby.
If it weren't for me that you seek
You may not know how to speak.
What am I?

actualy, a book can recieve knoledge. u can rite in a book, which is really like giving the bok knoledge. the only way a bok can give out knoledge is if the maker wites the book, giving it knoledge to give out. gr8 teaser though!
teh part about not being able to speak without using a book is somewhat false. one needs to learn how to speak before reading... it's doesn't work the other way around.
I found the not being able to speak part odd as well. But once the book is printed it generally does not get anymore knowledge, although we sometimes do write notes inside it, and before it is printed it is not really a finished book yet. So I would have to generally agree with the lines about giving but not receiving knowledge. I thought it was fun by the way.
What got me stuck is the friends that made me part. Trees did not make this, though they were an ingredient in the process. Good one otherwise.
Too wierd for me. Not all books give knowledge - novels entertain. Trees don't make books. Books don't live. Many illterates can speak their own native language fluently. Sorry!
I was thinking dictionary, for word pronunciations related to 'not know how to speak' .
Very well-written. Meter was great.
