Bonsai is a way of pruning and restricting the growth of a plant so it stays very, very small. The shape the plant grows is also changed, often making the plant look like a tiny, old, twisted tree.
Bonsai is achieved with a combination of careful pruning of both the roots and the branches, and using wire to shape the branches as they grow. Keeping the bonsai in a small container keeps the plant small, but great care must be taken so the plant doesn't dry out and die.
A book is made of many sheets of paper or parchment, bound together down one side. Each sheet is called a leaf, and each side of a leaf is called a page. Books can have lots of pictures or just words. They might have a story in them that is all true (non-fiction) or a story that someone has made up (fiction). Reading books is a hobby a lot of people enjoy.
