This series of books are fun reads and Jane Goodall is no exception! A wonderful way for kids to be introduced to Goodall and her work! I foresee it flying off the library shelves.

This is the first Little People, Big Dreams book I have read, and I have been considering ordering them from my library. Between the gorgeous illustrations and simple summary of Jane’s life, this is a must have! While I was originally thinking this series would compare along the lines of Itty Bitty Bios, I think it would better serve the upper elementary aged students at my school because the vocabulary is more complex. I enjoyed that there was a timeline at the end of the book as well. Thank you, NetGalley for the ARC!

Once more, I'm utterly enchanted by this latest addition to the Little People, Big Dreams series.
Such an amazing, empowering concept!

I really like that with Jane Goodall the series is starting to include more "recent" heroines as well.
She might be more easy to relate to for young children, because she lives in the same world/time as they do.

I love the way the illustrations mix fantasy with the reality of the facts the author is telling us. For example, when we read about Jane's mother and the bedtime stories she told her little girl, both characters are shown against the backdrop of a magical nighttime, jungle-like landscape.

We learn about Jane Goodall, and we also learn a bit about chimpanzees. I think this is a perfect little book to inspire curiosity and a thirst for learning in young minds!

I adored this book about Jane Goodall. Early elementary age children will learn about Jane while enjoying adorable and warm illustrations. Adults will enjoy reading this book with or to a younger child. I particularly like the timeline that is included at the end of each of the Little People, Big Dreams books, which gives additional information about the subject's life.

Una delle (molte) cose che amo in questa serie è la varietà di persone che presenta: scrittrici, politiche, avventuriere, artiste, scienziate.

Scienziate come Jane Goodall, fin da bambina innamorata degli animali, che in quarant'anni di vita nella foresta ha studiato gli scimpanzé per portarli più vicini a noi, e che adesso lotta senza tregua per custodirne l'habitat.

Un altro gioiellino illustrato alla perfezione, con testi precisi e suggestivi.

This book tells the story of how Jane Goodall got interested in chimpanzees from a very early age and what she did to follow her dreams. This is the first book I read from this series and I’m in loved! It’s quite difficult to find children’s books with strong female characters, and I can see myself buying most of the series for my daughter.

The illustrations are beautiful. The language is quite simple, but a bit dry for my taste sometimes. I actually enjoyed more the summary at the end of the book.

The book has a minor typo: it says it was originally published in Spain under the title Jane Austen! Not a big deal anyway.

Another great addition to the Little People, Big Dream series. I'd highly recommend for any young child who you want to introduce to great historical figures. Goodall's in particular is great for children who love animals. Also cool is that they list a few other children's biography books about the person on the back cover.

This is a beautiful tribute to a woman who was a scientist and powerful activist! Children will relate to Jane's vivid imagination and passion.

Highly recommend this book.

I received a copy of "Jane Goodall" in exchange for an honest review.

I love these little books.
They have such a great message for kids.

Jane did not have the money to go to University right away, so instead she worked hard, proved herself, got her education (as well as real life experience) and became a leading figure in her field.
Showing kids that with hard work and determination you can achieve anything.
I love the illustrations and think this is a great book to add to your child's library.

This series is always a joy to read, it’s a really nice introduction to well known women for little children. Of course the plot is always a little bit fast but that’s to be expected and it’s totally understandable.
I personally admire Jane Goodall not only for her work as a chimpanzee researcher but also for her activism. This little book is definitely a nice way to give children a glimpse of knowledge about chimpanzees and also to show how important it is to preserve their natural habitat.

Jane Goodall is a truly inspirational lady, a real hero.
The book is beautifully illustrated, and the simple story shows how working hard and following your dream can bring huge rewards. A wonderful book to read with a child to encourage and aid their curiosity about the natural world

Jane Goodall is one of those few people I admire unreservedly. She is a role model, and a real hero.

This book charmingly follows Jane's life from childhood to where she is today, and it shows how a little girl dreaming of living in Africa can become one of the most influential defendants of nature,

Vegara keeps up the quality of her books: both illustration and story are fully beyong criticism. A must read for every child - and parent!

I love this series of books and cannot wait for my child to be old enough to enjoy them too. Jane is a true example of following your dreams. Great pictures too

This approachable and lively book is a welcome addition to any library and can be used both as a reference for curious children and also as a group readaloud. Another great book in a delightful series.
