Current format, Book, 2006, , Available .Simply and beautifully written, The Jungle Book remains a classic work of children's literature. In this new edition, Mowgli and the creatures of the jungle are brought to life in stunning illustrations by the award-winning Australian artist Robert Ingpen.The story of Mowgli, the man-cub who is brought up by wolves in the jungles of India is one of the greatest literary myths ever created. As he embarks on a series of thrilling escapades, Mowgli encounters such unforgettable creatures as Bagheera, the graceful black panther, Baloo the kindly brown bear and Shere Khan, the tiger with the blazing eyes. As Mowgli grows up he is forced to realise that he is not like the other animals, and eventually takes his place among Men."I have tried to tread as lightly as I can with my images of the jungle creatures and their story, and hope I have left enough space for the reader to continue to make the adventure that Kipling created for us." -Robert IngpenAges 8 and up
