My Life with the Chimpanzees

No, this isn't a description of my family lifestyle. This is a short book, aimed at children (maybe age 8 to early teens), written by Jane Goodall (Alladin Paperbacks, 2002). I bought it without knowing that it was aimed at this age bracket, I had been hoping for something more in depth. Despite that, I was amused and interested and I'll definitely try reading it to my daughter.. Most of the book is biographical in nature, plus details o Goodall's studies of chimpanzees. The final chapter is a bit preachy; Goodall makes a plea for better ecological management and for people to get along better. If it had been a tad less heavy-handed, it might have worked better.
