Me… Jane by Patrick McDonnell
Summary: Jane has a stuffed monkey named Jubilee, who she takes everywhere including outside where Jane likes to spend most of her time. Outside, Jane likes to spend time watching and learning all about the animals and things she sees. She likes to watch the birds, the spiders, and the squirrels. She also likes to hug the trees and hear their sap trickling down the trunk. And everything she saw, felt, and learned, she wrote down in her journal. Jane also liked to read Tarzan, a book where another Jane lived in Africa. This was Jane’s dream, to live in Africa with all their animals and their jungles. One day, Jane’s dream came true.
Review: This story of Jane Goodall would be great to have in any classroom. The story would be great for emerging readers and older readers, from 2 to 10, and a great introduction into talking about nature and living organisms. I would not hesitate to put this in my classroom.
