MY REVIEW: "The Story of Jane Goodall: A Biography Book for New Readers", by Susan B. Katz, is an enjoyable and informative read about an amazing human being who has dedicated her life to the study and preservation of chimpanzees and other endangered species. Jane Goodall was born in London, England in 1934. As a toddler, Jane showed a fascination and love for animals that has continued into her eighties. She and her younger sister often explored their surroundings, and they formed a nature-lovers group with other children. Jane loved to observe animals, and her favorite childhood book (just like mine) was "The Story of Doctor Dolittle" because the doctor could talk to the animals. After graduating from high school, Jane became a secretary, but once she fulfilled her dream of traveling to Africa, she began to live out her dream of studying and working with animals. Jane learned much in her time as a secretary for Dr. Louis Leakey, a famous scientist who was also an anthropologist and paleontologist. She took on an important project of studying chimpanzees in the wild. The more time that Jane spent around the chimps, the more she noted the similarities between humans and chimps. She even learned to communicate with the chimps by mimicking their calls. Once Jane learned of the dangers to the chimps from poachers and threats to their habitat, she began a tireless campaign to bring awareness to people around the world about chimpanzees and their environment. For over six decades she has been a dedicated scientist, researcher, speaker, and writer, and she also founded The Jane Goodall Institute and other organizations which work tirelessly to protect wildlife and to preserve our environment. Throughout the book, you will find "think tank" questions to broaden your perspective, and a quiz to see how much you have learned. A helpful glossary is included to explain words like "anthropology", "conservation", "endangered", "extinction". and more.
