School Library Journal Review

Gr 3--5--In a charming first-person narration, Jane Goodall states how she went to Tanzania to study chimpanzees, but that at first, they kept running away from her. After spending some time on how she grew up in England, she was offered a chance to study chimpanzees when visiting Africa. Goodall grabbed the opportunity and went to Tanzania. The book covers her founding of research centers, travels, and the other significant discoveries and events that have made her the expert she remains to this day. Vivid, colorful cartoon drawings range from full page with a white panel for text and two smaller panels at the bottom calling out additional facts or ideas. Some pages are just a few panels with text in the white space. The back matter includes an author's note, time line, and bibliography. VERDICT Easy and engaging, this is an energetic biography in a pleasing format and a strong first purchase.--Tamara Saarinen

Kirkus Review

A warm testimonial to the life and achievements of Jane Goodall, one of the world's most renowned scientists. Not really updating Patrick McConnell's Caldecott Honoree Me…Jane (2011) but offering a fresh and more richly anecdotal recap, Robbins assumes his subject's voice to trace her progress from early immersion in natural history around her British home to adult observations of chimpanzees in Tanzania and eventual emergence as a world-traveling advocate for animal and environmental conservation. Tallying the names she gave numerous pets and chimps as she goes (though the local assistants who first helped her set up camp in Tanzania go unidentified), the narrator explains how she was able to get close enough to her study subjects to see them using tools, partying, and exhibiting other behaviors long thought exclusively human--and used some of what she learned to raise her own child. Along with a bulleted list of suggestions for readers who want to "Be Like Jane," the backmatter includes a summary of Goodall's discoveries and thumbnail profiles of six of her closest chimpanzee friends. In cleanly drawn scenes, Aly places her slender, confident-looking figure in settings both indoors and out, posing serenely with human groups diverse of age and race or sitting on the ground and interacting animatedly with smiling simians. (This book was reviewed digitally.) An enticing invitation to be like the courageous and innovative primatologist profiled here.
