Who is Jane GoodallThis would be a good book to read because it gives lots of detail in the book and tells how she got older and loved the wild with her chimpanzee. she love them so much that she would got visit them everyday and when she got older. Jane and her sister got sick and they did not bring any medicine with them but then after like three days they got better.Jane sister went back home to England and Jane stayed there and so she started to do research on the chimps as they would fight
We listened to this on our drive to Fort Worth. I learned so much about Jane and chimpanzees.
Summary-Jane Goodall was a very young girl who developed a passion for chimpanzees. She later did everything in her power to live in Africa among such creatures to study and make friends with. She had named many of them and even grieved over few. She would go on to start many programs and travel the world, informing others on what she thought best.Review-I've only read 3 Who Was/Is books (Who was Albert Einstein, Who Is Jeff Kinney, Who Is Jane Goodall) and I think this is the best of the bunch....
Great book for young readers about this remarkable woman. I loved the kind of relationship and support she had from her family, specially from her mother. There were personal facts I didn't know about her such as her two marriages and her son Grub.
I thought this book was great interesting and cool
This book was very short, but interesting. I really liked learning about Jane and her life. I thought it was cute how her interest in chimps started with a toy chimp she got when she was a little kid! I liked how this book explained a lot about her research. I liked how she gave all the chimps names and a lot of them started with the letter F. She is so devoted to her life's work. It was very courageous of her to take on the jobs researching the chimps in the jungle. Now she travels the world gi...
Perfect easy chapter book for children to learn about Jane Goodall. Illustrated and engaging with tons of facts.5*****
I liked this book and thought it was very interesting. It's cool how from the age of 10 she knew she was going to go to Africa and be with the monkeys. It really would take some guts to move into Africa and have no communication, for the most part, with any of your friends or family (except for her mom who she was with at the beginning ) . I know I couldn't do it. Also it's interesting how's she's not really afraid of anything but leopards... she's in a jungle for crying out loud! Jane was very
OK so call me stupid, but I had never heard of Jane Goodall. I'm definitely aware of people who studied wildlife in Africa, but Jane specialized in chimpanzees. And by the way, chimpanzees are not monkeys. Didn't know that either! So reading this children's history book was good for me...
My daughter loves these books! The only con was the heavy Darwinian evolution tidbits. But, it gave us great food for fodder.
Great little book about a very interesting woman. Love these Who Is/Was books.
I learned a lot about Jane Goodall! Natalie and I enjoyed this book.
I enjoyed this book because I liked the part when I learned about chimpanzees. I also enjoyed this book because I liked the part when I learned about lots of people.
My daughter is loving these books - and I love how much they teach her.
Born in London, England, Jane Goodall always loved animals and being outdoors. She received a toy animal chimpanzee (that she named Jubilee after a chimp they were following on the news) from her father, but little did she know that later she would study animals in their natural habitats. At the age of 26, she went to Africa to Gombe Stream Game Reserve to study animals in their natural habitat, up-close and personal recognizing the similarities between humans and chimps. She observed chimpanze
Who is Jane Goodall? by Roberta Edwards, illustrated by John O'Brien - Here's my first non-fiction chapter book that I read alongside my son. We didn't read aloud, just silently read together and then discussed as the story progressed. For example when we were reading the page where Jane was attacked by a chimpanzee I said "oh no, this is terrible" and my son said "Shh, I'm not there yet... oh no mommy, did this really happen?!" When we read the pages about a chimpanzee who had no empathy and we...
Another great entry in this fantastic series! I think we all "know" who Jane Goodall is, but it was fun learning some more facts. *They didn't think it was appropriate for her to live on her own in Africa so for the first few months her mom came to live with her. Moms are the best!!!*As a child she sat for five hours quietly waiting in the barn for a hen to lay an egg, because she wanted to see what it was like. Her parents were frantic looking for her. *It was interesting learning about the chi...
Ms Goodall's work has ensured that we continue to learn about chimpanzees in the wild, and learn the value of protecting their natural habitats.
Our family had the good fortune of hearing Dr. Jane Goodall speak in person last month. This was one of two biographical Goodall books the 11-year-old and I borrowed from the library to learn more about this living legend. Young readers will enjoy this quick read. Two thumbs up.
I thought this was a great book. It gave a good overview of Jane Goodall's accomplishments, kept it simple enough for early readers, had interesting illustrations, and finished with a message about how readers can add to Jane's legacy.
