McDonnell, P. (2011). Me…Jane. New York, NY: Hachette Book Group.
Jane is a girl who loves to be outside interacting with the
animals. She takes her stuffed toy monkey, Jubilee, with her everywhere she goes.
They watch the squirrels, birds and spiders. They figure out where eggs come
from. Together they go up into her favorite tree to dream about being Tarzan in
Africa. Jane dreamed about a life where she could study animals, learn about
them, and watch them up close and personal. Then that’s exactly what she grew up to do, the chimpanzee expert and animal activist, Jane Goodall.
Assignment # 2 - Evaluation Criteria
The Evaluation
Criteria of Design is what makes this informational book a fun, eye-catching
and instructive read. The illustrations
of Jane and her little stuffed chimpanzee, Jubilee, are so sweet and inviting. In addition to those illustrations, there are
pencil sketches on many of the pages that bring nature and the subject matter
to life.
