Bookroo's summary

Before 1960, few people knew that chimpanzees use tools or feel sadness, happiness and fear. Then Jane Goodall began studying them in the wild. This Level 1 reader tells the story of her life with chimpanzees and her work for animals and the environment, with National Geographic photographs and decodable text.
