When I was younger, Jane Goodall was my hero, so of course I had to read this! Packed full of information and illustrations about Jane and her adventures observing chimpanzees-- who aren't even monkeys. They're apes!! Loved all the fun facts in this book. ( )

This is a beautifully written biography about Jane Goodall. This books discusses who Jane Goodall was, her strength and courage as a young lady to go and study chimpanzees and how she came to be trusted by these animals. She grew to love them and they became part of her life and her family. Jane Goodall's story is about hope, inspiration, patience, and determination. This book can easily be paired with a biography unit, it can become a unit itself, as there are movies, youtube videos, and many other stories about Jane Goodall. Students will appreciate Jane and her work with these fabulous animals. I always tell my students that she had the coolest job and they are instantly intrigued to hear more. Read this book to your students and grow to love the lady that has become an inspiration to us all.

The biography Who is Jane Goodall is about Jane's life from a young girl to adulthood. I shows he love of chimpanzees and her journey with them. It talks about how she studied and helped chimpanzees and wildlife. This book is great because conservation of animals and wildlife is a very pressing issue in society today. This book is great for middle school students because it educates students on an influential figure and encourages them to go out and make a difference in the world by fighting for the preservation and protection of wildlife. This book would be great for a science lesson about chimpanzees or wildlife ( )
