Printed on heavy, coated stock, with wide floral borders adding
further notes of luxury, these three complete tales from Kipling's
classic, with attendant verses, get both sumptuous packaging and a
generous helping of small, finely detailed illustrations. This
treatment not only captures the action and exotic locales, but,
most expressively, the power and beauty of the wolves, Bagheera,
Balloo and the other animals among whom young Mowgli is raised. As
always, Kipling's measured prose and poetry is a treat to read
alone or, especially, aloud; here the story of Mowgli's education
in the Law of the Jungle, his first try at living among humankind,
his kidnapping by the Monkey People, and his triumph over the tiger
Shere Khan will keep young audiences rapt. An ideal replacement for
the edition of these tales illustrated by Inga Moore (1992), and
other edited versions. (Fiction. 9-11) (Kirkus Reviews)
The Jungle Book introduces Mowgli, the human foundling adopted by a
family of wolves. It tells of the enmity between him and the tiger
Shere Khan, who killed Mowgli's parents, and of the friendship
between the man-cub and Bagheera, the black panther, and Baloo, the
sleepy brown bear, who instructs Mowgli in the Laws of the Jungle.
The Second Jungle Book contains some of the most thrilling of the
Mowgli stories. It includes Red Dog, in which Mowgli forms an
unlikely alliance with the python Kaa, How Fear Came and Letting in
the Jungle as well as The Spring Running, which brings Mowgli to
manhood and the realisation that he must leave Bagheera, Baloo and
his other friends for the world of man.
