With Love

by Jane Goodall, Alan Marks (Illustrator)

Overview

“Chimpanzees, more like us than any other living animal, form a living link between two worlds, human and non-human beings. When David Greybeard reached out to touch my hand I needed no words to understand his message of reassurance: and I loved him.”

 

In this enchanting book, world-renowned scientist and conservationist Jane Goodall brings together stories gleaned from nearly 40 years of studying chimpanzees in the forests of Tanzania. As the stories recounted here demonstrate, chimpanzees are capable of great compassion, altruism, and love.

Editorial Reviews

Jane Goodall’s extraordinary respect and affection for the chimps she has lived among since 1960 are conveyed resoundingly in these stories. Goodall chose Alan Marks for his fine naturalistic illustrations, which, in her estimation, capture the spirit of the chimpanzees.”  —Amy Finnerty, New York Times

"These vignettes of varying length-based on Goodall's observations of nearly 40 years in the Tanzanian bush-lay bare the remarkable relationships of several chimpanzees without sentimentality. This volume will surely get youngsters thinking about what they can do to help save these surprisingly complex and social animals," said PW. Ages 6-10. (Mar.)
