Jane Goodall from "The Watcher" by Jeannette Winter, an Armadillo Readers Choice book

Hey, Kindergarten through second graders!  Remember the Armadillo Readers Choice book The Watcher by Jeanette Winter?  It was a biography of Jane Goodall- how she was interested in animals and science even as a child, and how she eventually came to work with chimps and discovered many things previously unknown to man about them!  Her dedication, patience and compassion has made a big difference to chimps around the world, and she's still making a difference. Check out this video of the real Jane Goodall at work.

Many K-2 classes are already done reading our 10 Armadillo Readers Choice books, and the library is in the midst of hosting Armadillo Voting Dance Parties!  Mrs. Fournier has already boogied down with 1st grade classes and many Kindergarten classes too.  Which book will win?  Only time will tell!  Check out all ten of our Armadillo Readers Choice books this year here.
