Here's another omnibus edition of Gary Larsons weird, wacky and utterly hilarious cartoons. To enter Larson's world is to enter a world where animals have meaningful conversations, bugs make their homes in nice suburban houses, flies fly planes etc, etc. Cetainly not the mainstream kind of cartoon but for anyone who likes 'off the wall' type humour this is a 'must buy'. Absolutely hilarious.

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!

I would recommend this book to anyone who would like to read something that after which they feel inspired and with their faith in humanity restored. You don't have to be an animal lover or even interested in Jane's work to enjoy and be inspired by the overwhelming message of hope from the author.
I would also go as far as to recommend this book as a feel good self help book that also focuses on the bigger picture and not just yourself.
