Jane Goodall

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher, Quarto Publishing Group - Frances Lincoln Children's Books, for allowing me to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

It is very rare for me to read a children's picture book, whether for review or just in my daily reading, but Jane Goodall, the subject of this new Little People, Big Dreams book, is someone I have admired for many years for her work with chimpanzees in Africa. As such, I decide to break my habit just this once...

I'm not an expert on picture books, but the images in this volume are beautiful. The text that appears is simple to understand and is true to Jane's story. The writer, Isobel Sanchez Vegara, has used easily understandable language which most children will understand, and the whole book should interest anyone with an interest in science and nature.

Star rating: 5/5
