This book is based on Jane Goodalls' life. This book tells of Jane as a girl who loves to be outside watching the animals. She takes her toy chimpanzee Jubilee with her on all of her adventures. Jane loved to read books about animals, climb trees, and watch animals and try to learn more about them. Jane dreams about being Tarzan in Africa and a life where she could study animals, learn about them, and watch them up close. The final pages of the book have information on Goodall’s life as well as a message from Jane herself to the readers.

I think this is a great way to introduce biographies to young readers. This book is a great way to teach students about Jane Goodall through simple text and colorful illustrations. It is also a wonderful way to encourage students to write about themselves or others.
