Product DescriptionFrom the time she was a girl, Jane Goodall dreamed of a life spent working with animals. Finally she had her wish. When she was twenty-six years old, she ventured into the forests of Africa to observe chimpanzees in the wild. On her expeditions she braved the dangers with leopards and lions in the African bush. And she got to know an amazing group of wild chimpanzees -- intelligent animals whose lives, in work and play and family relationships, bear a surprising resemblance to our own.

Rating: - Great find
It is so great to find a book that honors people like Jane Goodall, who inspires us to look beyond ourselves and use our gifts and talents to make this world a better place. To show us with her example, how important it is to care for those who have no voice of their own. Truly an enlightened individual.
Rating: - Beautiful narration by Jane Goodall
This book, intended for a younger audience, provides great insight into the experiences of Jane Goodall while studying chimpanzees in the wild in Africa. Dr. Goodall is a beautiful writer and the stories about her life at Gombe are riveting. Thoroughly enjoyed this book.
Rating: - Excellent book.
The book was purchased for a project learning about Jane Goodall. Unfortunately for me, I didn't look closely enough before buying the book to realize it was written for young readers. Even though it wasn't appropriate for my college level project, I read through it anyway and found it to be an excellent book.

Rating: - Great adult book!
I am an avid fan of jan goodall and her works. this book was very good on everything from descriptions to examples and issues that have faced chimpanzees, they are facing, and they will face. This book also delves into her personal life and explains tid bits along the way about why she is who she is and much much more. Only down side is that thier is not alot of pictures, would give five stars if would have included more pictures, but what can you say for the price?
