Once again re-reading as part of my downsizing and loved it. It is another Little Golden Book that I have had since my children were young. Disney got it right with the film on which this little book is based. Reading the book makes me want to check out the movie again. Colourful illustrations, wonderful characterizations. Love it!

Summary: The Jungle book is about a boy named Mowgli, an abandoned child who is raised by wolves, has a bear and a jaguar as his best friend. He then is sent to go live in the Man Village though he does not want to. Now Mowgli goes some wild adventure with his friends.
Review: The Jungle Book is a wonderful book it had a decent length making it great to read out loud. The book is good quality, the binding is tight, and has a good lesson to it. Classroom: I would use the book to teach student that sometimes one needs to listen to others and allow them to help you.
Genre: The book is fantasy because we have a boy who lives in a jungle who is raised by a black panther, a bear, and by wolves. In the story animals can also talk and sing show more making it unreal because who had really heard a bear sing and dance like Baloo. Though over all this book is great and any child would like it.
Medium: Color Pencil.computer animation.
Age: Primary. show less

A story of acceptance, love and family. The lost child is discovered by wolves and raised as a cub of the pack. As the foe Bagheera has decided he is a threat, he is protected by those who know his true heart.

I have always loved this book, all versions and believe this to be a wonderful story for all children to read.

I believe this book would be perfect in a Lit class (the longer version) and even the short version if used in companion with a civics idea of acceptance the teacher could show how the animals could represent all the different ethnic races of the world and if only you were open to discussion and acceptance would you be able to start to heal from the bad tha has happened

Although this Little Golden book is simply a shortened version of the Jungle Book, it is still a fun, adventure filled story for children. The story is centered around a boy named Mowgli, who is raised in the jungle by wolves, and befriends Baloo, the bear, and is threatened by Shere Khan, the tiger. Despite Mowgli being different from all the animals, he learns important lessons from the jungle before eventually finding his way to a local village.

This is about a young baby named Mowgli who was abandoned after an accident. Mowgli is taken and raised by a family of wolves. As he grows older, the wise panther, Bagheera, realizes he must be returned to his own kind in the nearby man-village. Baloo the bear, however, thinks differently. He takes the young child under his wing and teaches him the life of the jungle. Bagheera, however, realizes that Mowgli is in danger from Shere Khan the tiger who hates all people. When Baloo finally comes around, Mowgli runs off into the jungle where he has two encounters with Kaa the snake and finally, with his enemy, Shere Khan. It is only after Mowgli catches sight of a pretty girl, however, that he goes to live in a man-village nearby. This story show more is filled with different situations one might be put in. We could have a child in our classroom who is adopted and/or lives in a bad household. It is simple examples like this book that make life situations a little easier for children. show less

A boy is found in a jungle by a panther. The panther, Bagheera, gives him off to wolves for him to become a man-cub for ten years. The wolves give the boy a name, Mowgli. One day a tiger shows back to the jungle and Mowgli is now in danger. He must leave the wolf pack and go to the man-village. Mowgli doesn’t listen but has friends to help him out along the bad situations he gets in. This book has a very good meaning behind it. It shows that you sometimes need to listen to others and allow them to help you. It’s also good for reading about facing choices and new journeys.
