From School Library Journal Gr 4–8—Featuring gorgeous, full-color photographs; primary sources; and fun nature facts, this biography of Jane Goodall will easily entice children. Goodall is presented as inspiring and intelligent as well as down-to-earth in her personality and methods. Silvey focuses on the scientist's relationship to the chimpanzees she studied, and also discusses the anthropologist's trajectory from curious young girl to respected scientist (black-and-white childhood photos and anecdotes add to the appeal). Sidebars provide additional material, such as brief profiles of her mentor, Louis Leakey, and her mother. The photographs of Goodall and her primate friends are beautiful, and the book is well designed and laid out with care. The writing is clear and concise, and learning about the subject's work in such an accessible manner will boost children's self-confidence, especially girls with an interest in science. VERDICT An ideal purchase for science or biography collections.—Shalini Miskelly, St. Benedict Catholic School, Seattle, WA
Review "Silvey (The Plant Hunters) adeptly chronicles the life of Goodall from her childhood fascination with animal behavior to her groundbreaking field research of chimpanzees in Africa and her work to preserve endangered animals’ habitats. Goodall’s brief foreword offers a persuasive call-to-action for readers to do their part to save the natural world, and Silvey’s clear, engaging narrative moves briskly through Goodall’s career.... Incorporating sidebars, bursts, maps, illustrations, and other images, the book’s handsome design makes for easy, enjoyable navigation." - Publisher's Weekly Starred Review"This accessible account of [Jane Goodall's] life (with a foreword by Goodall herself) emphasizes the qualities that will likely resonate with young readers: her intelligence, sense of adventure, curiosity, and love of animals... Silvey accompanies her main narrative with informative text boxes and vivid photographs that are integral to understanding the places, people, and animals in Goodall’s life—including the chimpanzees she spent years observing. " - The Horn Book Magazine; www.hbook.com “Adventurers and outdoor lovers will identify with the life and work of Jane Goodall, compellingly presented in “Untamed,” which is filled with full color photographs, illustrations, maps, and fun nature facts.” - The Boston Globe"Untamed: The Wild Life of Jane Goodallby Anita Silvey is the fascinating story of the childhood and career of the famed scientist.

Anita manages to produce a solid, sensible study of a life without digging so far into the nitty-gritty details that it's overwhelming.To give you an example, one thing that comes off brilliantly is the continuity of Goodall's love of animals. The photos and the stories from her childhood make her later research seem an unavoidable track. We see a huge photo of little Jane with her little sister and their stuffed animals. Jane's beloved is a large chimp named Jubilee. From there her early curiosity about chickens and worms makes her later curiosity about chimps seamlessly reasonable.The other kid friendly stories that Silvey gathers provide fun and clear 'connections'. One example would be how even at age 5 Jane was focused enough that she made a long study of a chicken and it's egg laying process. And in another situation kids (and adults) will share how a very sick Jane, immobilized for a while, as able to coax a Robin to visit her in her room and even build a nest in her bookcase.SUMMARYI think UNTAMED would be an excellent book to share with younger readers. In fact, read it yourself. It's wonderful.There aren't currently any Lexile or Accelerated Learning numbers for this book, but I can tell you that I think it would be an excellent addition to school shelves, classroom or library, or the home shelves of Goodall fans.The message is upbeat but informative. Goodall herself encourages readers to get involved. That even though they are far away from Africa that there are things they can do to make their concerns heard. And, of course, her example of being a self-taught scientists is an important one. Especially for girls.I know in the past that I have found some of the old National Geograhic Kids books to be a little dry. No More! This book is fabulous. The format is readable and accessible. There plenty of fascinating photographs and colorful, reader-friendly side boxes. (review copy)Highly recommend.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. I enjoyed every bit of this By This Kid Reviews Books Synopsis- Jane Goodall always loved animals, ever since her childhood. When given an opportunity to visit Africa, Jane pounces on the idea – imagine the wildlife there! When in Africa, she realized she needs a job. That leads her to animal and historical enthusiast, Louis Leakey. Working as his secretary Jane soon steps up to a job that Louis has been looking for a person to do. That job? Visit the nearby, unmapped Gombe forest and study the chimpanzees living there. It was something no trained field expert had ever done, and Jane had no field experience. Was this the opportunity of a life time or huge mistake?What I Thought- This is a wonderful resource about the life of Jane Goodall. It starts from her young childhood and goes to current-day. The book even includes a foreword by Ms. Goodall. I like how, while the book is meant for kids, it puts the parts of the book in a cool, easy-to-read, but was also informational and succinct. I actually prefer these to what NatGeo puts out for adults (but maybe that is because I am a kid ;) ). This has fun facts, easy-to-read pages, and much more! Besides learning about Ms. Goodall’s work with chimpanzees, did you know that Ms. Goodall was a great waitress, and could carry around 12 plates without a tray? I learned a lot, and the book really brought Ms. Goodall to life for me. The real life photographs added so much to the story. All I have to say is WOW! I enjoyed every bit of this. I highly recommend the book!*NOTE* I got a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. UNTAMED is a captivating and eye-opening read By KidsReads Fascinated by wild animals and their habitats from an early age, Jane Goodall longed for the day that she could travel to Africa to meet and communicate with them. It was not until her early 20s that Jane's dream is fulfilled --- she is invited to stay in Kenya for six months. Determined not to leave, Jane finds work as a secretary for famed scientist Louis Leakey until he expresses a need for someone to study the great apes. Jane jumps at this "chance to live with and learn about not just any animal but the one most like us, the chimpanzee." Amid her trials and triumphs, Goodall has no idea that her research will turn into epic historical and groundbreaking work in the study of animals and their similarities to humans.The author of several award-winning narrative nonfiction books for children, Anita Silvey unfolds the unforgettable legacy of how one girl’s love for animals changed the world in UNTAMED: The Wild Life of Jane Goodall. Silvey's narrative deftly captures the essence of Goodall's journey, which begins as a few-months venture to find and observe the elusive chimpanzees in the Gombe Stream Game Reserve (now known as Gombe National Park in Tanzania) but evolves into a 55-year period of research, "one of the longest continuous field studies of wild animals ever conducted."While retelling Goodall's life story, Silvey incorporates a marvelous combination of stunning photographs and additional text to give young readers a well-rounded look at Goodall's world. Examples include information on Louis Leakey, Goodall's African pets, other animals of Gombe, individual profiles on various chimpanzees that Goodall named and observed, Goodall's field notes and information on those who carried on Goodall's mission when she began speaking around the world. Silvey also zeroes in on Goodall's activism in wildlife conservation and educating the public. In particular, Silvey raises awareness to Goodall's Roots and Shoots program that "builds on the legacy and vision of Dr. Jane Goodall to place the power and responsibility for creating practical solutions to big challenges in the hands of the young people."Closing with a timeline, maps and a slew of resources for further research, UNTAMED is not only a captivating and eye-opening read, but also a reminder for young and old alike that, as Jane fittingly puts it, "together we can make the world a better place for all living things."Reviewed by Anita Lock
