From the Publisher
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.

I'm ten years old. The story of Mrs. Jane Goodall and her journeys through Gombe Stream Reserve and other national parks is astonishing. No planning, no preparation, and suddenly, when visiting a friend in Africa, her dream of working with animals becomes reality. It is so amazing. Before, I wanted to work with animals, but now, this book has motivated and made me long to work with animals.
