Rickie and Henri: A True Story

32 pp. | Penguin/Minedition | September, 2004 | Trade ISBN 0-698-40002-X $15.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Alan Marks. An infant chimpanzee, captured by the hunter who killed her mother, eventually finds sanctuary with a kind man and forms an attachment to his dog. As a postscript makes clear, this heartbreaking true story is calculated to generate support for Goodall's work with orphaned chimps ("Once [Rickie] needed Henri--now she needs you"), but it is engagingly told and illustrated with expressive art.
