We definitely plan on listening to the rest of her books after this pleasant first taste! I also really appreciated that she narrated the book herself.I felt like I really got to know her. My daughter's favorite part was the detailed descriptions of how she earned the trust of the chimps. Her thesis was completed in 1966 under the supervision of Robert Hinde on the Behaviour of free-living chimpanzees, detailing her first five years of study at. My sensitive son's favorite was the daring rescue of the chimp who fell in the water. She longed her whole life to live with the chimpanzees. Jane Goodall tells how her small fascination as a child became a long life career. I teared up at the story of the elderly mama chimp and her loyal son (previously a spoiled brat who ended up being the comfort of her old age). 'My Life with the Chimpanzees' is about animal specialist Jane Goodall embarking on dangerous trips into Africa studying and learning more about chimpanzees. The only complaint was my very sensitive son didn't like 'all the dead chimps'.but in was done gently and with the emotions appropriate to the death of a good animal with social connections so overall was touching more than disturbing. The two youngest are begging to listen to all of her books.
Through her work at Gombe Stream National Park in Tanzania and her own Roots and Shoots program she has become a tireless advocate for animals and the planet.Īs for that stuffed toy, Jubilee still sits on Goodall’s dresser in London.We played this on our Chromecast in the living room. During her expeditions she braved many dangers and she got to know an amazing group of wild chimpanzees-intelligent animals whose lives, in work and play and family relationships, bear a surprising resemblance to our own. Jane dreamed of a life spent working with animals, and when she was twenty-six years old, she ventured into the forests of Africa to observe chimpanzees in the wild.
While others thought Jane would be terrified by the toy, she adored it and it inspired a life-long love of animals in her. Inspired by a stuffed toy, Jane Goodall became the first woman to study chips in the wild and in the process made history.Īs a child, Jane Goodall was given a stuffed chimpanzee named Jubilee, and she has said her fondness for this figure started her early love of animals. She is an Ethologist, animal lover, and she observed chimps.
