Dr. Jane reads 'Eagle & the Wren', taking us to flight with a community of birds.
Rickie the chimpanzee lived happily with her mother in the rain forests of Central Africa, warm and safe until the day the hunters came and took Rickie away to sell at a Congolese market. Fortunately, she was rescued by a kind man who adopted Rickie and cared for her. Best of all, he provided an unexpected friend in his dog, Henri.
This true story of friendship is heartwarmingly brought to life by renowned scientist, conservationist, and peace activist Dr. Jane Goodall.

Dr. Jane reads 'Me...Jane', taking you back to her childhood and her dreams of Africa.
In his characteristic heartwarming style, Patrick McDonnell tells the story of the young Jane Goodall and her special childhood toy chimpanzee named Jubilee. As the young Jane observes the natural world around her with wonder, she dreams of "a life living with and helping all animals," until one day she finds that her dream has come true.
Dr. Jane reads 'Chimpanzee Family', taking you inside the world of our closest living relatives.
In 1960, a 26-year-old Jane Goodall traveled to Gombe, Tanzania to begin the first formal study of wild chimpanzees. Her discoveries changed the way we understand these fellow great apes and our relationship with the rest of the animal kingdom. Her observation that chimpanzees make and use tools revolutionized the field of animal behavior, challenging the "sharp line" separating humans from other animals.
This book, 'Chimpanzee Family' provides an intimate portrait of a group of chimpanzees. Follow along as Jane takes you into their lives and you learn more about this incredible species.
Dr. Jane reads 'Elephant Family', taking you inside the world of this amazing species.

Dr. Jane reads, "The Eagle & the Wren"
Lark, dove, eagle, and vulture all claim to soar the highest. So, owl suggests a contest, and off the birds soar. It appears the eagle is the winner, but a tiny passenger on his wing may change the outcome.
