内容简介 在线阅读本书
This retelling of The Jungle Book is exciting and accessible to younger readers. "The man-cub is mine. Give him to me!" roars Shere Khan, the lame tiger. But Mowgli the man-cub is already deep in a cave, adopted by a family of wolves. Here, in the heart of the Indian jungle, Mowgli learns the laws of the animal kingdom. And, helped by his friends Bagheera, the black panther, and Baloo, the brown bear, Mowgli must face his striped enemy-the tiger, Shere Khan. In this Young Classic edition, children discover the jungle world that Mowgli inhabits. Photography and background information help to set the scene in central India, and bring The Jungle Book to life for a new generation of children.

The Jungle Books. Published in 1894 and 1895, the stories crackle with as much life and intensity as ever. Rudyard Kipling pours fuel on childhood fantasies with his tales of Mowgli, lost in the jungles of India as a child and adopted into a family of wolves. Mowgli is brought up on a diet of Jungle Law, loyalty, and fresh meat from the kill. Regular adventures with his friends and enemies among the Jungle-People--cobras, panthers, bears, and tigers--hone this man-cub's strength and cleverness and whet every reader's imagination. Mowgli's story is interspersed with other tales of the jungle, such as "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi," lending depth and diversity to our understanding of Kipling's India. In much the same way Mowgli is carried away by the Bandar-log monkeys, young readers will be caught up by the stories, swinging from page to page, breathless, thrilled, and terrified.
(Ages 9 to 12) --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. 专业书评 From Parents' Choice® A latter-day virtuoso of comic strip art is Craig Russell, and opening this graphic labor of love is like surrendering to a seductive and exotic magic show. Not since Winsor McCay in the early years of this century has their been so original and masterly a draftsman of the comic strip medium. Like McCay, the artist is able to manipulate the size and shape of each panel, giving the viewer the illusion of watching an animated film. The three Kipling Mowgli stories - about a boy brought up by wolves in the jungles of India are melodramatic and, on occasion, hard to follow; but the easy-to-read balloons of dialog - and, of course, the mesmerizing pictures are sure to hold a reading child in thrall. Eighty pages of graphic magic make this top-drawer comic strip well worth the price of admission. Recommended
--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. From AudioFile Stage, screen and radio actor Madhav Sharma gives Rudyard Kipling's lively, adventurous tales of Mowgli, child of the Indian jungle, a mesmerizing reading. There are numerous audio productions of Kipling's stories, but no reader does a better job giving voice to Mowgli's friends and foes (Baloo, the bear; Bagheera, the black panther; Kaa, the rock python; and Shere Khan, the tiger) and re-creating the atmosphere of the Indian jungle setting through thoughtful phrasing and dramatic pacing. The touch of an Indian accent in Sharma's voice is a plus. The only disappointment is that this is an abridgment. The plot is intact, but some of Kipling's consideration of the eternal issues of good and evil, power, love, and anger, which make THE JUNGLE BOOKS such satisfying reading, is missing. It would be a pleasure to listen to Sharma read THE JUNGLE BOOKS in its entirety. C.R.A. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
