    About this audiobook

    From the time she was a girl, Jane Goodall dreamed of a life spent working with animals. Finally she had her wish. When she was twenty-six years old, she ventured into the forests of Africa to observe chimpanzees in the wild. On her expeditions she braved the dangers with leopards and lions in the African bush. And she got to know an amazing group of wild chimpanzees — intelligent animals whose lives, in work and play and family relationships, bear a surprising resemblance to our own.

      Earlier this year I read Reason for Hope and I thought I would try this book, written for younger audiences. The two are somewhat similar, since they are both about Goodall's life, in her own words, but I like this one for younger readers, as it teaches ways to help stand up for animals and the environment without being overly pushy. We can all care for animals, learn from animals, and help the environment if we just try. The perfect book for nature loving young readers.
    • 4/5
      This is an autobiography written for young readers by Jane Goodall, renowned for her resarch and work with chimpanzees in Africa. It is well-written, simple, straightforward, and conversational. Dr. Goodall relates her early love of animals and animal behavior and the path she followed to realize her dream of working with wild and free animals in their natural habitats. Her love for life in general and wildlife in particular radiates off every page and it is gratifying to read the story of someone who was able to live out her passion. I'd like to read some of her books for older readers someday as well.
