Reviews
"Goodall introduces and reflects on the chimpanzees of the Gombe National Park that she has known and studied... Absorbing photographs from publisher Neugebauer provide intimate glimpses of baby chimps playing with family members, as well as of the other animals that populate the Gombe. A lovely look at Goodall's service to the welfare of the great apes." -- Publishers Weekly
"This charmingly designed, delightful book will inspire a new generation to look for the similarities that unite us, whether among humans or between people and other species." -- Dorcas Hans, School Library Journal starred review
"Neugebauer's color photographs... should please chimp lovers with close-ups and action shots, and this title will put the esteemed Dr. Goodall on the radar of children just developing a serious interest in primates." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
