It's Monday! What Are You Reading? 3/19/12.Announcing It's A-OK to Reread in April!.Read Along on I-94 - Same Sun Here - Part 4.It's Monday! What Are You Reading? 3/26/12.This book is truly an advocate for imagination & curiosity and reaching for your dream.
It shows the power of a dream and the power of a brilliant woman. This book is simple at first glance, but it is so powerful. Chimpanzees are amazing creatures and it is because of the work of Jane Goodall that we know to what extent of amazing they are. I teach Hurt Go Happy yearly and visit my friends at The Center for Great Apes. What Kellee Thinks: Anyone who knows me knows that I love chimpanzees. I love how this book can start a discussion about so many things from Jane Gooddall and other famous people to animals and the caring for the environment. By adding her drawings and work into the book, I felt even more moved that it really happened and was really representing her and her childhood. I love to read non-fiction and remind myself all the way through that these things really happened. I love how she created these to keep herself busy and that they were included in the book.
There is a two-page spread that shows drawings and activities she created for herself when she was little. My favorite part of this book is when it shows her imagination and creativity.
I love the mood of this book and from looking at pictures of Jane Goodall it just seems like it represents her. The text is really simple but it tells the story of what seems like such a nice, caring person. I love the sweet, muted illustrations that accompany this story of her childhood. What Jen Thinks: I love animals and am in awe of the work Jane Gooddall has done to support chimpanzees. In this beautiful picture book, Patrick McDonnell introduces us to a young Jane and her chimp Jubilee and shows us the curiosity that helped give us the Jane that we know and love today. Summary: Jane Goodall is one of the most important advocates for chimpanzees and an amazing primatologist and anthropologist. Publisher: Little, Brown Books for Young Readers
