Jane Goodall: A Little Golden Book Biography

Meet primatologist and environmental activist Jane Goodall in this inspiring Little Golden Book biography! When the animal-loving girl read The Story of Doctor Doolittle, she knew she wanted to travel to Africa just like he did in the book. It inspired her to pursue science, even when people said women didn't belong in the field. As a young woman, she got the chance of a lifetime: an invitation to study chimpanzees in the wild. Naturally, she said yes!

But Goodall thought about fieldwork in a different way than most scientists. Instead of hiding her presence, she decided to let the animals get used to her — to think of her as a friend. And she thought of them as friends, too. That unique technique allowed her to observe behaviors — like chimpanzees making and using tools — that changed what it meant to be human. Told in the engaging Little Golden Book format, this biography is the perfect choice for young Jane Goodall fans.
