My Life with the Chimpanzees

By: Jane Goodall

Narrated by: Jane Goodall

From the time she was a girl, Jane Goodall dreamed of a life spent working with animals. Finally she had her wish. When she was twenty-six years old, she ventured into the forests of Africa to observe chimpanzees in the wild. On her expeditions she braved the dangers with leopards and lions in the African bush. And she got to know an amazing group of wild chimpanzees -- intelligent animals whose lives, in work and play and family relationships, bear a surprising resemblance to our own.

Perfect.

This book is a great introduction and summary of Dr. Jane Goodall's life and her goals for the planet. New to audiobooks, I was surprised and very happy to hear her voice.

Affected us all

Hearing Jane Goodall's story, straight from her mouth, affected all my family strongly, including my Seven year old son. Very compelling.

Great narration of interesting wildlife stories.

I was hoping for more of her personal life. that's why I'm giving it 4.

excellent read

Jane Goodall's life and work is fascinating. She is a courageous, sensitive woman.

Very Interesting

This audio is one the whole family can listen to and enjoy. My family and I learned many things about her life and about chimpanzees. She does a good job reading her own story and is inspiring to listen to.
