 Rating: - MONKEY BUSINESS!Bought this for my 8 year old son and pinched it to read myself. Jane reflects on her years and experiences in Gombe over 30 odd years, on the survival problems facing our closest cousins, on how she has helped them and lastly on what we can do about it. As you journey along with her there are some stories that nearly made me cry and had a sobering effect on others I have recounted them to. An enjoyable, exciting read for children - packed with great stories and adventures with an added environmental message. Buy it for your kids but also enjoy it yourself!

Rating: - This is a one-of-a-kind book.This book tells all about Jane Goodalls hardships in becoming a great studier of Chimpanzees. It is great and everyone should read it!! |
