5.0

Jane Goodall was a remarkable scientist, and this book is an informative biography about her life and her scientific work. It was really fun to read about her as a child and the differences she made by being a persistent woman who wasn't afraid to try things differently than they had normally been done. While this book is a little longer, it's pretty entertaining and the captions add to the story.
