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
