No child should be allowed to grow up without reading TheJungle Books. Published in 1894 and 1895, the stories crackle withas much life and intensity as ever. Rudyard Kipling pours fuel onchildhood fantasies with his tales of Mowgli, lost in the jungles ofIndia as a child and adopted into a family of wolves. Mowgli isbrought up on a diet of Jungle Law, loyalty, and fresh meat from thekill. Regular adventures with his friends and enemies among theJungle-People--cobras, panthers, bears, and tigers--hone thisman-cub's strength and cleverness and whet every reader'simagination. Mowgli's story is interspersed with other tales of thejungle, such as "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi," lending depth anddiversity to our understanding of Kipling's India. In much the sameway Mowgli is carried away by the Bandar-log monkeys, young readerswill be caught up by the stories, swinging from page to page,breathless, thrilled, and terrified. (Ages 9 to 12) ...
