Illustrated Classics – The Jungle Book: Abridged Novels With Review Questions

Rescued from the tiger Shere Khan, a small boy is taken in by a wolf family and grows up with the forest as his home. The Mowgli tales of Rudyard Kipling are abridged here, following his bond with the bear Baloo, the panther Bagheera and Akela, who leads the pack, along with the long quarrel with the tiger that never quite ends. The edition carries illustrations through the chapters and sets review questions at their close, so a child reads, then answers, then moves on with the plot still fresh. Why it stays in print: • Mowgli's story told at a length children can finish • The forest characters kept as Kipling drew them • Review questions that prompt recall after each chapter • Illustrations spaced through the text to break up the reading For readers of around eight upward, and for teachers looking at animal stories or classic adventure with a class.
