An illustrated look at the life and work of zoologist Jane Goodall.

"This biography for children will trace Goodall's life, but each chapter will also focus on two or more of the chimpanzees that she observed, with information in sidebars about these particular animals. Along with biographical details, the book will explore the ethical issues that surround Goodall's work and show what has changed in our understanding of Great Apes. What do we know today about these animals in terms of language, speech, tool use, and DNA? How has sophisticated technology - GPS systems, Satellite imagery, portable digital microphones - been used to gain new information about animal populations."--Provided by publisher.

"Jane Goodall spent her childhood drawing animals and dreaming about visiting Africa to observe those animals up close. After a lifetime of pursuing that dream, Goodall has become one of the most renowned authorities on chimpanzee behavior.For nearly six decades, Goodall has observed, documented, and sometimes even lived with chimps. In a time when field research was mostly done by men, Goodall not only proved she was just as capable but also made discoveries that have revolutionized our understanding of animal behavior.".

"In his characteristic heartwarming style, Patrick McDonnell tells the story of the young Jane Goodall and her special childhood toy chimpanzee named Jubilee. As the young Jane observes the natural worl around her with wonder, she dreams of 'a life living with and helping all animals' until one day she finds that her dream has come true."--Container.
