A beautiful way to learn about chimps!

[Danielle Mccoy · Rating 3 out of 5]

I picked up this book in the bargain section of the children's section of a store. It is not necessary a good book to read to kids. There is death and violence but shows how they chimps are showing loving behaviors though out the book.

Love the illustrations, stories are really nice and in general a great book for kids. For me a star less as no reference to dates and backgrounds are given. It's for kids, but they'll probably like to know. And it helps understanding the stories.

A tiny book but full of beautiful and touching stories about chimpanzees. Loved every bit of it! And it has really beautiful art/illustrations - great job by Alan Marks.

Beautifully written. The 10 stories are a mix of delight and sadness.

There is a new picture book out abut Jane Goodall and I was looking for that when I found this one. Since I am focusing on more picture books to round out my knowledge for my younger clientele, and to assist my Book-a-Day Challenge, I grabbed this one. I remember being fascinated and baffled by Jane Goodall as an adolescent so this was an interesting selection.
As I searched for this title on GoodReads, I didn't realize how prolific Jane Goodall had been in writing over the decades. She is a very busy lady. The copyright on this selection was 1994 and I know she hasn't slowed up in her quest to protect the ape world.
This particular book shared 10 case study/stories of examples of chimpanzee compassion and acts of love. Through these stories she actually also shares extensive details of typical chimpanzee behaviors and habitat. The illustrations by Alan Marks, are not as flashy as some we are used to in current picture books. They do however, have a certain poignancyand simplicity to them that enhances each story.
As always I can find a way to use this in a compilation or inquiry into the primate world. One middle-grade fiction that comes to mind is "Hurt Go Happy" by Ginny RobyHurt Go Happy

the watercolors inthis book are as beautiful as the writing.
i'm not interested in chimps or apes, this book got me to care about them.

First published in 1994, there are ten stories of incidents of love, caring, compassion and family among the chimpanzees of Gombe. Wonderful and moving.
