Beschreibung des Verlags
This timeless classic is brought to life for the stage in a vibrant new musical version by award-winning children’s playwright Neil Duffield.
Mowgli, the ‘wolf-cub boy’ and his friends Baloo the bear and Bagheera the panther transport us to the jungle in a story that has remained a favourite for generations. Can Mowgli discover the secret of man’s red flower? Can he fight off the terrifying tiger, Shere Khan? Will he be able to overcome the many dangers of the jungle and live there happily? Or will he leave his wild friends and join the humans in the village?
Faithful to Kipling’s original beloved story, this beautifully staged musical adaptation has proven a hit with theatres both in the UK and abroad.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Adapted by Powell from Kipling's The Jungle Book and The Second Jungle Book, this interactive entry in the Seek and Find Classics series invites readers to take part in the unfolding story. In more than a dozen seek-and-find scenes keyed to significant moments in the plot, children are asked to find 10 objects and animals (and Mowgli, of course) in Frenna's cinematic cartoons. The retro vibe of her artwork at times recalls the Disney adaptation but still offers a distinctive spin on the characters and drama of the tales. Also available: Alice in Wonderland. Ages 8 up.
