Doubleday book I'm giving this two stars, instead of one, because I know for a fact I loved the story of Rikki Tikki Tavi as a child. However, as an adult, reading this was soooo painful. It's an older book and just the language being used and the way the words and sentences were put together. I couldn't enjoy it at all. It took me forever to get through it and I only did so I could be ready for book club on Saturday. And, it's only like 250 pages long!! uggggh Belongs to SeriesJungle Books (1) Belongs to Publisher SeriesBasford Adult Coloring Books (tie-in | 4.5) — 48 more Is contained inThe Hutchinson Treasury of Children's Literature by Alison Sage (indirect) Penguin Modern Classics: 10 books set Breakfast at Tiffany's, The Day of the Triffids, The Jungle Books, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, A Room with a View, Goldfinger, A Clockwork Orange, A Kestrel for a Knave, Lolita and Orlando by Penguin (indirect) Jungle Book / 2nd Jungle Book / Just So Stories / Puck of Pook's Hill / Stalky and Co. / Kim by Rudyard Kipling ContainsIs retold inHas the adaptationIs abridged inInspiredHas as a commentary on the textNotable Lists

HTML: The Jungle Book from 1894 is a collection of Rudyard Kipling's stories that give moral lessons through the personification of animals. The most famous of the stories are the three detailing the adventures of Mowgli, the abandoned "man cub" who is raised by wolves in the Indian jungle. Also well-known is the tale of a heroic mongoose Rikki-Tikki-Tavi, and the story of a young elephant handler in Toomai of the Elephants. Due to its moral flavor, The Jungle Book was used by the junior section of the Scouting movement, the Cub Scouts. .No library descriptions found. |
