Book Reviews of The Chimpanzee Family Book (Animal Family Series)

Book Review: A beautiful portrait of a child and his community
Summary: 5 Stars

Although marketed as a children's book, this treasure is truly one for all ages. In fact, I bought a copy for my four year old nephew some time ago, but loved the book so much I kept it for myself! (Don't worry; I ordered a second copy for my nephew.)

This book is truly a portrait of an entire community. As Jane Goodall follows little Galahad and his mother through a typical day, we get to meet Gremlin's brothers, as well as the other chimpanzees who make up the larger group. Michael Neugebauer's keen eye captures many memorable images--some funny, some touching. Goodall's straightforward prose is the perfect complement to the wealth of beautiful, full-color images. Her insights into chimpanzee life make the book as educational as it is enjoyable.

"The Chimpanzee Family Book" reminds us that the strength of family and the joy of childhood are not exclusive to the human race. And the book is also a poignant reminder of the vital need to protect the chimpanzees from threats to their continued survival.

So whether you buy this book for your favorite child or your favorite adult, "The Chimpanzee Family Book" is sure to become a treasured favorite.
