This is a very good book. It shows children a different view on animals and just what people can do with them. Goodall found a love for chimpanzees and discovered many amazing things about them. I think this book is good for advanced readers in your classroom who appreciate animals. I enjoyed reading it and would suggest others to read it if they love animals. I give it a 5/5 because I love animals and found her fascinating. She is truly an inspiration. This book can be bought in paperback or hardback.… (más)

This biography is the story of how a young girl from England dreamed of going to Africe. Eventually, as a young women her dream was realized.

This book did not hold my interest very well. I have seen documentaries on Jane Goodall that were very good but I felt this book left out a lot of the interesting elements of her life. It didn't flow well and seemed to repeat a lot of the same information.

As an extension, there are a lot of good movies and documentaries on chimpanzees that children could watch. Also, children could learn about other animals from Africa and the people that study them.… (más)
