Jane Goodall's Animal World, Chimps (HC)

Introduces the physical characteristics, behavior, habitat, reproduction, and life cycle of the chimpanzee.

How do chimps live their daily lives? What do they eat? How do they rear their young? The answers to these and many other questions are found in this fascinating book.

Jane Goodall, one of the world’s foremost naturalists, presents her ANIMAL WORLD series – eight books that explore the wonders of the world’s wildlife. The books aim to help children understand more about the animal world because only when we understand can we care: only when we care can we help: and only when we help can the animals be saved.

JANE GOODALL was born in London on April 3, 1934, and grew up in Bournemouth, on the southern coast of England. In 1960, she began studying chimpanzees in the wild in Gombe, Tanzania. After receiving her doctorate in ethology at Cambridge University, Dr. Goodall founded the Gombe Stream Research Center for the study of chimpanzees and baboons. In 1977, she established the Jane Goodall Institute for Wildlife Research, Education and Conservation to promote animal research throughout the world. She has written three books for adults, including the bestseller In the Shadow of Man, and three books for children, including the recent My Life With the Chimpanzees and The Chimpanzee Family Book.
