Primates by Jim Ottaviani



Ottaviani, J. (2013). Primates: The Fearless Science of Jane Goodall, Dian Fossey, and Birute Galdikas. New York: First Second Books.

Summary: This book Primates by Jim Ottaviani focuses on three primatologists Jane Goodall, Dian Fossey, and Birute Galdikas. The author Jim Ottaviani uses the medium of a graphic novel to tell this story. Jane Goodall focused her studies on chimpanzees, Dian Fossey studied the mountain gorillas, and Birute Galdikas focused her studies on orangutans.

Evaluation criteria: Design, Style, & Organization - "Primates" by Jim Ottaviani & Maris Wicks is a fun and delightful read. Interesting how the authors used a graphic novel for their medium. The frames in this graphic novel keep it organized.
