About

PreS–Gr. 3.

This quietly affecting picture book tells of Jane Goodall’s childhood, spent exploring the outdoors along with her intrepid stuffed animal, a chimpanzee. A pleasure from start to finish, the presentation opens with spare, tinted drawings and ends with a photo that shifts the story into another dimension. (Top of the List winner—Youth Picture Book.)
