Me . . . Jane / Patrick McDonnell (Author)
Little Brown and Co.
2011
In his characteristic heartwarming style, Patrick McDonnell tells the story of the young Jane Goodall and her special childhood toy chimpanzee named Jubilee. As the young Jane observes the natural world around her with wonder, she dreams of "a life living with and helping all animals," until one day she finds that her dream has come true. With anecdotes taken directly from Jane Goodall's autobiography, McDonnell makes this very true story accessible for the very young--and young at heart. - From Amazon
Biography - animal studies
I loved the vintage stamps and botanical drawings behind the text - that really places the reader in the setting of Jane's world growing up and was a neat contrast to McDonnells cartoons. I REALLY want to join Jane's Alligator Society now.
