I’ve always been fascinated with the little Bonsai trees, but I’ve also always been intimidated about the stories I’ve heard that they are “temperamental” and difficult to grow. I saw this book and thought that it wouldn’t hurt to get a peek at what it would take to truly grow one. The author gives us the instructions in this book on how to grow, care for a Bonsai and even the history of the Bonsai trees. Set up a little like a textbook with chapter summaries at the end, we are given an introduction into this intriguing world. I loved the pictures that were included and the information that was being presented to me was easy to understand. I think the most interesting thing about it is that the author made me believe that I could actually achieve this and grow one of theses miniature trees if I follow the guidelines laid out. Ultimately, I think this is what he set out to do, so he is successful in my eyes.
