Kipling's classic Mowgli tales spring to new life with the help of stunning artwork by acclaimed illustrator Nicola Bayley.First published over a century ago, these three unabridged stories from THE JUNGLE BOOK about the man-cub, Mowgli, have delighted adults and children ever since. The stories tell of Mowgli's upbringing among the wolves; his lessons in the Law of the Jungle from Baloo the bear, Bagheera the black panther, and Kaa the python; his kidnapping by the Monkey People; and his clash with the evil tiger, Shere Khan. Illustrated in striking full color and exquisite detail by award-winning artist Nicola Bayley, this is a book to treasure forever.
Editorial : From School Library Journal Grade 1-6–Three stories–"Mowgli's Brothers," "Kaa's Hunting," and "Tiger! Tiger!"–and six of the poetic songs from Kipling's classic work are accompanied by painterly illustrations. Floral-patterned borders decorate the gutter of every spread, drawing the eye to what is customarily an empty space. A combination of detailed miniature drawings and small framed paintings is strategically placed throughout the text. As is typical of Bayley's style, the masterful use of light, detail, rich color, and texture creates striking and evocative visual effects. The images of the tiger are especially expressive. Unfortunately, the decorative layout and small size of the images don't fully capture the lush setting and drama of Mowgli's adventures. Still, this is a beautifully designed book. Jerry Pinkney's The Jungle Book (HarperCollins, 1995) is another visually appealing version that includes 18 of Kipling's original stories.– Heide Pie
Dr. If you are studying for the ARE exam you rely on this material to show you where you are wrong and if the book is wrong it takes hours to figure out why. This is great since you really want to work on one picture and be able to turn it to get the right angles. I would suggest anyone who is keto purchase this cookbook.. The book is an incredible visual and spiritual journey up the river of life, told by a salmon and her predator. I have handled lots of tree related cases. For anyone who plans to read the book, I suggest you also read the following article from the peer-reviewed journal World Development, "The Fallacy of Beneficial Ignorance: A Test of Hirschman's Hiding Hand" (free pdf here: bit.ly/26oYmdi). The book suffered tremendously and was in need of replacement, We found it on Amazon.com and ordered it immediately, the new book is part of my Grand Son's ever expanding library!. First, it's hardcover, not the cheaply glued paperbacks you usually get. I'm so glad to have this
