Rickie the chimpanzee lived happily with her mother in the rain forests of Central Africa, warm and safe—until the day the hunters came and took Rickie away to sell at a Congolese market. Fortunately, she was rescued by a kind man who adopted Rickie and cared for her. Best of all, he provided an unexpected friend in his dog Henri. This true story of friendship is heart-warmingly brought to life by renowned scientist, conservationist and peace activist Dr. Jane Goodall.

      A baby 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.
