The Jungle Book

I read a version of The Jungle Book featuring just the core Mowgli stories, beautifully illustrated by Nicola Bayley. These were largely free of Kipling's imperialist and racist views so it was possible to better appreciate the power of the story-telling. The character of Bagheera and his fierce love for Mowgli is really brought out in this (quite different from the Disney adaptation).

It's well worth seeking out this edition and reading as a companion to Katherine Rundell's Into the Jungle which continues and develops the Mowgli stories (and is also beautifully illustrated).

I like the part when Baloo rescued him and my favourite character’s are the panther and mogly

exhilaration!!

A long but nice book.

i think the book is cool

My favourite character is the jaguar because he saved mowgli's life and taked him to the wolf family to have fun with the cubs. I would recommend to adventurous people.

I enjoyed all the deeply characteristic animals.
Of course, I would tell the whole world about it.

I always that animals were quite unusual but this book changes my views completely.

Funny

The book is about a man cub named Mogwli raised by the wolves. In the story all animals have human traits and names and they act like human too. Mum says the author conveys the moral message by attributing the human traits to animals.

Infringing insight in to animals lives

it is a book turns you to grow up

This book will make one of the hairs on your back rise, it is a very exciting book and I really recommend it. Most people think it's a story for young ones, but it's got a book for older readers too.
It is about a young boy in the jungle, who was found by two wolfs. Then an angry, greedy tiger, Shere Khan, is not happy.The young boy grows up to be called Mowgli and faces his jungle fears, especially Shere Khan, as he grows and learns more about the way of life in the jungle.

It has animals

the movie is scarier than the book

I like this book, but it is a bit old fashioned.

Didn't like it.

The start is really interesting but it is not so good near the end but it is a good book

I loved the poems

I love the book the man cub called mowgli

nice

Mowgli was clever.

Danger
Survival
Animals
Loyalty

This is brilliant. Not at all like the films. There were lots of other characters. There was no King Louis, though. I really enjoyed the stories, they all liked in together but were not one long story.

Awesome stories!

They speak weird in it and it is confusing for some reason. I actually like it for some reason.

Very interesting book about life in a jungle

a story of what animals think, like mind reading of what animals think of people and adventure

Ok but a little confusing

This book is OK! We did it as our school play but we changed it. Being the MAIN part i read the book and it was quite good. I am playing Mowgli even though i am a girl. This book is GOOD I recommend it.
