Reviews

The books in this basic, yet useful series are small in stature and light on text. Each slim volume presents its subject's life from birth to death, discussing her contribution to history and highlighting why she was indeed "great." On each spread, the text faces a full-page, uncaptioned black-and-white or color photograph or reproduction. A time line runs across the bottom of the pages. The texts are straightforward and informative. . . .Vocabulary words are not set apart by bold text, but they are defined in a helpful glossary at the back of each book. Solid choices for beginning and/or struggling readers.-- "School Library Journal, Series Made Simple"
This condensed biography of Jane Goodall, chimpanzee devotee, serves as a practical as well as functional use of information aimed towards young children. The narrative describing Goodall's early life and her affection towards animals is informative and direct. The material included in this book would be helpful to beginning non-fiction readers.-- "Science Books & Films"
