This is a great information book about Dr Jane Goodall, who has recently visited Australia. She is a primatologist, environmentalist, humanitarian and United Nations Messenger of Peace.
Little Jane Goodall and Jubilee (her toy chimpanzee) ramble outside their English country home observing everyday animal miracles and dreaming of a life in Africa, "living with, / and helping, / all animals”. There are simple ink-and-watercolour illustrations . Included is a brief biography, additional photographs and a letter and drawing from Jane herself.
Many publishers are producing information books that are in the picture book style so they can reach children who are visual learners. Expect to see more like this. This is suitable for students from Year Four up.
