Mike Venezia is branching out, March 15, 2010
This review is from: Jane Goodall: Researcher Who Champions Chimps (Getting to Know the World's Greatest Inventors & Scientists) (Library Binding)
If you are familiar with Mike Venezia's previous books, you will immediately recognize the winning formula here. Interspersed with pages of the typical biographical information and photographs are lighthearted stories of things Jane Goodall did as a child, illustrated with funny cartoons.
Most children find the less-serious approach very appealing, and these books are wonderful for reluctant readers. Adults shouldn't be fooled though, Venezia's book does an excellent job of covering the essentials of Jane Goodall's life. One can't help being inspired by an eager young secretary who goes to Africa in search of adventure and ends up a famous ethologist and world authority on chimpanzees.
A perfect fit for any library, this book is sure to attract readers.
