I love the way that the information in this book is presented.
The text is fairly straightforward, but the illustrations do a great job of really showing the information. The scope is a broad introduction to redwoods, but also includes lots of interesting details.
I found this book to be very engaging and informative - it made me add seeing the redwoods to my list of someday/maybe things to do.
