The Story of Jane Goodall

“I’m a 3rd grade teacher and tried a “Who Was” book for one of my students. It was a bit too challenging. I ordered a copy of this Jane Goodall biography and it was filled with great information in an easier to read format.” – Customer Review“Kids love reading about animals and about the people who work with them. Young readers of 6-9 will love this chapter book about Jane Goodall’s work with chimps. The book shows Jane’s love of nature from a very young age and how she worked for the chance to study chimps. It also covers Jane’s many accomplishments to protect wild chimps from extinction, as well as improving the conditions of chimps in zoos through her ChimpanZoo program. Jump in the Think Tank boxes encourage readers to think beyond the text, and Myth & Fact boxes clear up misinformation. A glossary explains words readers might not know and an extensive bibliography helps parents find more information on Jane Goodall if their young readers want to learn more.” – Customer Review“When my kids were younger we participated in Roots & Shoots, a Jane Goodall club for kids, so I am familiar with her and her work. That being said, this book was so well written that I felt like I was meeting Jane for the first time. The story is paced very well and the reading comprehension checkpoints and illustrations are placed strategically throughout the book. There are also conversation starters in a variety of places in the book to encourage the children to express their thoughts about goals, perseverance, and other character building traits. This is definitely a book that I will recommend to parents as a worthwhile early reader for their kids.” – Customer Review
