I liked this book in large part because of its format. Each tree would receive a description and narrative running a single page, and a pretty pen-and-ink drawing would appear on the opposite page along with a regular set of statistics (size, age, habitat, etc.). This made it an ideal book for casual, pick up-and-set down reading.

Each double page spread has a line drawing and a historical and cultural history of a tree species from somewhere on earth. Not essential reading but I enjoyed this ode to trees of the planet.
