Praise for this book

"Goodall introduces and reflects on the chimpanzees of the Gombe National Park that she has known and studied. . . . Absorbing photographs from publisher Neugebauer provide intimate glimpses of baby chimps playing with family members, as well as of the other animals that populate the Gombe. A lovely look at Goodall's service to the welfare of the great apes." --Publishers Weekly
"This charmingly designed, delightful book will inspire a new generation to look for the similarities that unite us, whether among humans or between people and other species." --Dorcas Hans, School Library Journal starred review
"Neugebauer's color photographs . . . should please chimp lovers with close-ups and action shots, and this title will put the esteemed Dr. Goodall on the radar of children just developing a serious interest in primates." --Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
