I loved reading this with my daughter such an inspirational series to read. I learnt so much reading these and my daughter loves them. Beautiful illustrations. A must read.

Another book in a fabulous series. I love that this book is about someone who is still living and doing what she believes in.

'Jane Goodall' by Ma Isabel Sanchez Vegara with illustrations by Beatrice Cerocchi is part of the Little People, Big Dreams series. This series continues to be such a great series of inspiring books for young readers.

When Jane Goodall was little, her father gave her a stuffed chimpanzee, which she named Jubilee. Sometimes a simple thing like a favorite toy can impact a life. Maybe this on did as well. Jane's love of animals caused her to save up for a trip to Africa. She got jobs that eventually led in to what she is most famous for.

One of the things I love about this series, besides the amazing, inspiring stories, is that every volume features a different artist. This time around Beatrice Cerocchi is featured, and her colorful, full-page illustrations are colorful and fun.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Quarto Publishing Group-Frances Lincoln Childrens, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.

Young girls everywhere will be awed by how a simple gift from her father changed life for Jane, showing us that we may find our calling anywhere and so should never stop looking and always remain open to the world & it's many, thrilling secrets waiting to be discovered!

"Jane Goodall" from the "Little People, Big Dreams" series tells a great story of Jane Goodall whose love for the chimpanzees since young age helped her to become an impressive chimpanzees research and as well an active advocate on nature conservation. Her story is inspiring; a perfect example to show children that hard work and perseverance are the key to success. Jane Goodall did not grow up with abundant resources. She worked hard and grasped every possible opportunities to pursue the dreams of her life.

A heartwarming little book for children with positive messages. The illustrations are rendered beautifully. "Jane Goodall" is another great read from the "Little People, Big Dreams" series. I highly recommend.

The book "Jane Goodall" is part of the "Little People, Big Dreams" series, which uses short biographies to expose young children to a wide variety of famous people. This book gave a short description of the life of Jane Goodall, and her route into the studies of chimpanzees in Africa, her life's work. I believe that this book in particular would be useful with younger elementary children, in the first through third grades. It's language is easily accessible and the pictures correspond with the simple story. Those illustrations are lively with an element of whimsy. Overall, I would recommend this book to my students, and for any children who would like to learn more about the life of Jane Goodall.

Jane Goodall by Isabel Sanchez Vegara is a book I requested from NetGalley and it is a terrific book for kids! I have always adored Jane Goodall and this book shows her as a girl and how she got started with her chimpanzee interest. How she grew to love them and to work with them. It is not about her as a woman, just a brief bit at the end, but the bulk is about her ambitions as a young girl! A great role model!!!

This is a very concise introduction to the story of Jane Goodall written in the simplest language with colourful pictures. It outlines who she is and how she got there ( enough to catch the attention of a young child!). I have always admired her, It was fun to read about a woman who saw something beyond what most of the others of her time did and had the strength to dedicate her life to it. 
I would definitely encourage my nieces (and nephews) to read this book.

New in the Little People, Big Dreams series, discover the incredible life and work of Jane Goodall. The text and illustrations show Jane as a child playing with her favourite toy, a stuffed monkey. She dreamed of living in the jungle with the chimpanzee. She did not go to college or university, but saved every penny to go to Kenya. Once there she got a job observing chimpanzees in the wild and when being still, they accepted her into their family. She was able to see how much they are like humans. She wrote articles and eventually became well known for her work. She is now an advocate for saving the habitat of the primates as well as conservation and education. This is a child friendly biography with delightful illustrations. It is a story that shows a young woman striving to achieve her dream. This book could be used to teach young children how to write a biography, show that it is important to have a dream and strive to achieve it as well as to introduce them to this well known primatologist. A good book for a school library. The publisher generously provided me with a copy of this book to read via netgalley. The rating, opinions and ideas stated are my own.

What a woman Jane Goodall! or precisely I should write: Dame Valerie Jane Morris-Goodall known in the world as Jane Goodall is. Naturalist, adventurer, explorer, lover of chimpanzees, activist.
Little People, Big Dreams this time presents to the children, in particular little daughters a new thrilling book about another woman who made and makes the difference in term of discoveries, love for animals and nature and preservation of our Planet: Jane Goodall. Written by Isabel Sanchez Vegara and illustrated by Beatrice Cerocchi the story starts with the first approach of Jane with chimpanzee.
Jane's dad presented her one day, when still very little, a stuffed animal. It was a stuffed chimpanzee. Oh: little Jane simply fell in love for Jubilee, his name. She carried him wherever she went. And this love, although maybe at first she didn't still know this, would have continued later.
Jane couldn't complete her studies, so she decided to save every penny she had, leaving for Kenya, Africa. Once arrived Jane is assigned at an important research about chimpanzee, their life outside and similarities with humans. Jane studying them will make important discoveries and will find beautiful connections with human behavior. (Wikipedia pic.)
Her approach? The kindest one of this world. She gave to this first community of chimpanzee names, so that they could have an identity, because each pet, cat, dog, wild animal is different from another one, for character, temperament; exactly as children or adults ones are; who knows? Maybe she did it also for feeling them more close to her soul.
Once returned to UK, she published her important discoveries in relevant scientific magazines. Jane continued to study chimps in the Gabe for 40 years and now she tries with all her strength to tell to everyone thanks to her many projects, the importance of living in a beautiful, harmonic and healthy Planet.

Parents will find this children's book captivating because there are a lot of thematic on the plate: nature, environment, animals, what it means the destruction created by us, and so problems connected with these animals and other ones as well: sacrifices for arriving; I insist that it is from childhood that children start to develop a good conscience and education, respect and healthy relationship with the environment close to them if the topic is introduced well by their parents.
That's why this book of this lady, Jane Goodall will make the difference. If you have a daughter, this series of books by Quarto are the most proper ones for let her understand the power that women have in the world. It's not just lipstick and high heels that will mark the existence of a girl (that one is the funniest and lightest part of the existence) but also a life spent sometimes in unknown directions, following difficult crusades but that can make the difference for the humanity or for a lot of people or...animals.
Not everyone will become a new Jane Goodall but this example, like the other ones proposed in the book series Lincoln's Children's Books by Quarto will inspire and will help your daughters to become best children and later, great adults with a critic perspective regarding life.

I thank NetGalley and Quarto for this eBook.

My full review appears on Weekend Notes. Thanks to the publisher for sharing this title. I really like the whole series so far.

Cute book and lots of great information! Kids will enjoy this easy to read book, and learn more about a fabulous person in the process!

Jane Goodall is part of the amazing Little People Big Dreams series which introduces important people of history to young readers.

Jane's life is very interesting and through the book children can learn about how she came in contact with the chimpanzees and how she got them to trust her. It also shows the importance of conservation of rain forests and how damage to these can result in danger for animals.

As always the illustrations were a treat and suited the book well.

I would recommend this book for parents or teachers who have young children who are interest in learning about people who changed the world.

Thank you Quatro Publishing and Net Galley for the free review copy. I love biographies for children, and this series by Isabel Sanchez Vegara is great. Jane Goodall's story is presented in a clear way for young readers. I think these are great books for kids who have an interest in nonfiction. I would definitely recommend this book.

his series briefly describes inspirational women who started as young children with a dream. A dream that meant a great deal to them.

Jane Goodall is a good example of just such a woman. When she was young her father gave her a stuffed chimpanzee named Jubilee. This little toy managed to spark her love for animals. But when it was time for her to attend university to study what meant so much to her, she didn't have the funds. However, like many with a dream, she managed to think of another way. She saved money until she could purchase a boat ticket to Kenya, in Africa. There she met, Louis Leakey, a well-known scientist who was looking for a researcher willing to study chimpanzees in the wild. Exactly the opportunity Jane was seeking.

This was the beginning of a small dream that ended up changing so many of our thoughts about chimps and nature. By dedicating her life to the thing she loved, Jane gained a large amount of knowledge and was able to share that love, which taught her so much, with many people.

My Thoughts
What Concerned Me: Though I'm a fan of this series, the artwork, for the most part, feels flat and doesn't work for me.

What I Liked Best: I am a great fan of a series that acquaints children with women (and people in general) who have made remarkable contributions to society.
