Perky personifications of sixteen unusual (but real) tree species from around the world tell their "stories" in their own voices on left-hand pages; a fanciful portrait of the tree appears on the right of each spread. Some factual information is embedded in each tree's jocular presentation, but readers looking for straightforward information or images should look elsewhere. The endpapers contain a world map.
