PreS-K–New readers will encounter informative, relatable text about Jane Goodall’s life as a conservationist, accompanied by vocabulary and visuals with simple features. This valuable series introduces young readers to celebrated environmentalists, describing their awareness and care for nature as children to their inspirational work as adults to protect the Earth.

VERDICT If only in the name of cultural literacy, children need to hear these names early on.
