The Watcher: Jane Goodall's Life with the Chimps

This book really captured my kids’ attention. They both enjoyed it (4yo, 2yo)It focuses more on her life and an overview of her work than details about chimps.

Jeanette Winter is one of the finest creators of picture book biographies for young readers and this tribute to the great scientist Jane Goodall is among her finest works. Biography is a super transition from picture book story fare to nonfiction chapter books for young readers. With spare but vital text and outstanding illustrations the author reveals the life of one of the most remarkable persons in the world of scientific inquiry in the past fifty years. Here also is a story of courage of a woman rising to the top of a knowledge pyramid more frequently dominated by men. Any young reader who loves animals and admires the people who study them will find this biography to be an instant favorite. Winters equally balances Goodall's life of scholarship with her work as a global activist among young people. This is a choice book about a truly inspiring individual.

Libro precioso para mi hija de 4 años. Llegó muy rápido y en perfectas condiciones.

Bright, colourful and informative book about Jane Goodall and her work not only with chimpanzees but also with encouraging conservation efforts. I have read this with several Year Four classes which have appreciated the book.

Das Buch hab ich als Geschenk für meine Schwester (31 Jahre) gekauft, die ein riesiger Jane Goodall Fan ist.Es ist schön verarbeitet und die Bilder sind einfach traumhaft gezeichnet.Sie schaut es sich gerne mit ihren Kindern (12 und 1) an.
