Publisher Description
“The animals went in two by two. Hurrah!”
The Jungle Book is the story of Mowgli, a young boy raised by wolves: his escapades and adventures with his dear friends Bagheera the panther and Baloo the bear, his capture by the Monkey-People, his attempt at reintegration into human society, and his ultimate triumph over the lame tiger Shere Khan. Rudyard Kipling’s classic story has thrilled generations of children and formed the basis for the unforgettable 1967 Disney movie.
Among the other classic stories included in this collection are Rikki-Tikki-Tavi about a mongoose who saves a family from a cobra, and Toomai of the Elephants about a young elephant handler.
*Includes image gallery, maps, link to free complete audio recording of The Jungle Book and original essay ‘Who Was Rudyard Kipling?’
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.
