Review: A beautiful book - Got this for my Grand Daughter in whom I hope to instill a love of all things natural and to be truthful with her as is appropriate for her age about what human kind has done. Jane is a life long idol for me, I love her and I am not a "star struck" sort of person but oh had we held the likes of Jane up even half as high as sports and tv stars...anyway my beautiful baby loves the book, made me cry a bit to see her so enthralled with it. =) Review: AT HOME WITH THE KIDS - Here is an up close look at a seldom look at life with a chimp family that shows them the way Jane Goodall knows them.
