I had no idea that she was the first person to realize that animals make and use tools. I didn’t realize how long it took her to get the chimps to even show themselves to her. I knew who Jane Goodall was and that she was famous for her work with chimps, but I knew very little beyond that. ![]() The Watcher by Jeanette Winter neatly avoids both of those issues. I find that so many biographies for young readers either leave out so much information that it’s hard to have any reference point for the information they do give or that it’s so complex that a second or third grader is going to be overwhelmed. Unlike Me, Jane, which is a rather fictionalized version of Jane Goodall’s early life, this covers the majority of her life, starting with her interest in animals as a young girl and finishing with her activism for chimps in Africa. I’ve heard loads about The Watchersince it came out this summer, so I was glad to finally pick it up. ![]()
