I just adore books, especially beautiful books filled with exciting stories. I love to read them aloud with my children. Recently, I received Into The Jungle: Stories for Mowgli, and it is definitely a book that is both beautiful, and filled with exciting stories.
Written by Katherine Rundell, this wise and witty companion to Rudyard Kipling’s 1894 classic is likewise a series of connected stories about the man-cub Mowgli and his adventures among the animals in the Indian jungle. It includes all the original favorites like Baloo and Bagheera and gives female characters, like Mother Wolf, a more prominent role in Mowgli’s upbringing. The timely theme of the possibility of understanding and empathy across species, cultures, and genders will resonate with contemporary readers.
Check out my video below for an in-depth look at Into The Jungle: Stories For Mowgli:
