![]() This is the first time I have had such a criticism of a First Second book, whose titles have always been meticulously crafted. These are all minor distractions that could have been easily cleaned up by a more careful editor. The art was generally appealing, except that some noses looked distractingly odd. The shifting voices were particularly distracting when one scientist was writing about another. One page had voice bubbles that looked like they were typed in Comic Sans. But the other characters do not receive such clear treatment, changing fonts from serif to sans-serif as if that is a significant enough shift for the average reader. It started out well with Leakey's voice in brown and Goodall's voice in blue. The significance of their political work and the toll their research took on their personal lives was also included in this slim volume.Ĭonfusing shifts in narration. ![]() I learned about their significant findings that shook the scientific world: chimpanzees using tools and orangutans walking on the ground. I had never heard of Galdikas or her research with Orangutans. ![]() ![]() I had no idea that Louis Leakey helped secure the funding for Dian Fossey and Jane Goodall and got them their starts in field research. Yay! Women scientists! At times funny and fascinating. ![]()
