The Jungle Book: Mowgli's Adventures

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Debra Bandelin & Bob Davey. Retold by Joe Rhatigan and Charles Nurnberg. Vibrant illustrations portray Kipling's famous jungle as an enchanting place exploding with color and energy. Mowgli's childhood among the wolves and monkeys is a perfect idyll. Even Shere Khan, lurking on nearly every page, seems more of a challenge than a threat in this diluted, abridged retelling that follows Mowgli from infancy until he's forced to join the human world.
