  1. Why do you think the author chose to feature these three scientists together in one book?

    1. All of these scientists are girls and they all studied a type of primate.

    3. You got it Owen. Additionally, these women broke a lot of social and gender rules of their time. Women were expected to stay home and take care of their family - not travel out into the world, live on their own and adventure.

  2. I think the graphic novel format make this books assessable to a wide range of readers. What do you think? Does it work as a biography?

  3. Today I started reading Primates, and I really like it so far! In a half an hour I read 88 pages of the book. I thought the whole book was going to be just about Jane Goodall, but it's not! I like when there is more than 1 main character. This book is really funny and I like how the book started with Jane in a tree reading about Tarzan (who I wanted to be like when I was little) and her mother saying that it was time for Jane to come to dinner for a while. I'm really excited to read more, I can't want!!!!!!:):):):):)

  4. Yesterday I started and finshed Primates!! It was such a good book I just couldn't put it down. I liked the part at the very end when it said "I got that bridge built, in the end. Jane's building more of them." She is teaching more kids about, well, primates!
