My Kipling-fu is so feeble I did not even know The Jungle Book was an anthology, not a novel about a badass little boy who blazed a trail for Tarzan.
I wonder if Shere Khan is the inspiration for Chaka Khan? If you only read one story from this book what a silly notion read this one.
Hunting-Song of the Seeonee Pack Nice poem, all the poems in this book are nice. Any way, Mowgli is chiefly aided by Kaa the python and his very particular set of skills.
Road-Song of the Bandar-Log Nice poem 5. Mowgli's Song Great song, especially the guitar solo. The White Seal Kotick the white seal is like the Columbus among seals.
Very good story. Especially when Kotick decides he has had enough of the ignorant seals and their jibes then proceeds to hand their asses to them.
They did not know he has been working out with some marathon swimming. Thank you Literaturepage. After Rikki-tikki-tavi is allowed to knock himself out with full blown hero worship through this song.
Her Majesty's Servants Ah! Oh dear! Somethihg to do with a bunch of animals nattering about something completely devoid of interest. Parade Song of the Camp Animals Related to the previous story.
No thanks. Definitely recommended, especially the first story, which is a bear necessity. Thank you! View all 10 comments. India The illustrated Jungle Book is a mixed bag of positives and negatives, and if your only experience of the story is from the films then you are in for a surprising revelation.
Firstly the Jungle Book is not one story but an anthology of 7 short stories and 7 songs, and understandably with some more appealing than others.
Even Baloo while teaching Mowgli the ways and language of the jungle, leaves him heavily bruised. The general story, we all know, as Mowgli the Man-Cub the Frog is found as an infant and reared by wolves, taught and watched over by Baloo and Bagheera, and hunted by Shere Khan.
The role of characters are transformed, interactions are altered and plots are changed. Death is a typical outcome, often clinical and ruthless, but with a purpose.
The written narrative and dialogue from Rudyard Kipling reminds us just how great a writer he is, how he constructs a layered storyline and uses such lyrical prose to describe the scene and activities.
Each story starts with a little poetic verse that magically blends with the story. This is an illustrated version with two types of images; black and white sketch which are exceptionally well drawn, and full-colour prints that seem to vary in quality.
This is a Kindle version and the formatting with the images is really poor and inconsistent, I actually can't believe how poor the formatting is.
Two weeks ago I arrived at Aberdovey, a small seaside village on the Dyfi estuary in west Wales. So to discover sun, and thus an ideal day for the beach, I needed a book.
Having no luck finding a bookshop, and minus my Kindle, the young man in the pub mentioned that the RNLI were selling books.
I had read this collection of short sto Two weeks ago I arrived at Aberdovey, a small seaside village on the Dyfi estuary in west Wales.
I had read this collection of short stories as a child but had forgotten the names and the animals and so what a delight it was to reread them.
But still there were struggles for Mowgli from members of the pack; however, with the help of such staunch friends as Bagheera, the panther, and Baloo the bear, he managed to overcome them.
When Mowgli is kidnapped by the Monkey People the Bandar-log , Bagheera and Baloo enlist the help of a rather villainous Rock Python called Kaa as the monkies were terrified of him; I was too and could that snake move.
Phew… What is sad though, despite the child learning all about the laws and languages of the jungle, Mowgli was never really accepted by the wolves apart from his adopted parents , nor human beings either, when he was forced to leave the jungle and go and live and work in a local village.
Sadly, he was betwixt and between. Also, did I miss something in that he remained naked all the time? That could have caused serious problems surely in the jungle, especially?
And Kotick would indeed benefit from being white. What fun that was to read. View all 21 comments.
I read this book when I was a child and I really enjoyed the stories at the time. This book was also a favourite with my children. Wonderful classic stories.
Pure nostalgia. I first read The Jungle Book at a very young age that I can hardly remember any of it. The Disney movie helped me to recall some of the adventures of Mowgli, but the book was not too familiar for me.
This reading, therefore, was as new as the first time. The common understanding of The Jungle Book is that it is the story of Mowgli and his adventures, his friendship with Bagheera, the black panther, and the wolf pack, and his enmity with Shere Khan, the tiger.
But surprisingly it is not so. It is a collection of many stories although one third occupies with the stories related to Mowgli.
The most interesting ones in the book are the stories of Mowgli. And equally interesting was the story of the cute little mongoose, Rikki Tikki Tavi.
He reminded me of the friendly mongoose who used to roam the garden of my childhood home. Other than them, the rest of the stories didn't grab me.
They were alright but not quite interesting. And some of these other stories entertained certain disturbing notions and actions that might have contributed to my lesser enjoyment of them.
When I read Kim , I felt that Kipling was not a good storyteller. But I'm not quite sure if I want to read any more of his prosaic works.

No this is not your Disney movie - Kipling wrote a fantastic series of short stories, only a few of which include Mowgli.
Baloo is not a lazy idiot, Kaa is not a bad guy, SherKahn is killed rather then run off, the wolves are not always the noble good guys And so much more enjoyable for it.
I would have to say that my favorite is Rikki Tikki Tavi, h No this is not your Disney movie - Kipling wrote a fantastic series of short stories, only a few of which include Mowgli.
I would have to say that my favorite is Rikki Tikki Tavi, he's just so loveable and wonderful. There is a sense of magic in Kiplings animals, every reader will find themselves dreaming of being raised by wolves and taught the law of the jungle by Baloo.
I know that this was written as a children's book - but I have a hard time believing that my 11 year old son would be able to read and enjoy it, the beauty of the language will be lost on many of the younger readers who are used to the forward speaking newer YA books.
But I would assume that by middle school they should be able to fully enjoy it. Shelves: buddy-read , something-new , classics , reviewed-rated.
This is the second time I read The Jungle Book. The first one was when I was in secondary school as I had to write an essay for it.
This story was memorable coz it was the same time when I first start wearing glasses. So, needless to say this was the very first story I read with my pair.
The bigger the frames, the bigger the lenses, the nerdER you are. So, you can just imagine my hesitations and disappointment when I've been told I needed a pair.
Nowadays, every second person I see wears them. Glasses became a fashion statement. Glasses make a big fashion statement.
So, back to the book. When Luke asked me to BR this classic, I said yes to it, of course. When I got my copy though, I had to double check the cover.
The book was thickER than I expected. And then after reading "Mowgli's Brothers" I was surprised that there were more pages to turn. So then I realised that the book consists of more short stories and poems.
Though, only three or four of them are actually stories about Mowgli, Baloo, Bagheera aka Baloogheera as Luke cleverly put the two names together and Shere Khan.
Alrighty then, read more, I did. Animal fables to which the author explored themes such as courage, loyalty, friendship and love. But my favourite is "Riki-Tiki-Tavi".
Love lovelovelovelove this character. I'm not gonna go into details as I'm sure everyone has read this. The Book.
The writings was old and there were parts that made me either bored or had to stop and absorb what Kipling was trying to say.
Baloo was very wise, teaching Mowgli almost everything. He was very strict and always ready to strike a blow on young Mowgli when he doesn't pay attention or get anything wrong.
I forgot about his story. His secret bald spot and that mark. The collar mark that no one knew. Interestingly enough as I couldn't remember, as almost everything in this book, that he was an ally too who helped Mowgli to escape from those rambunctious monkeys.
The difference. These 3 main characters were nowhere near anything like this in the film. They were fun and very entertaining.
Never felt that I was watching an adaptation of a classic story. Disney film had changed the plot enormously.
And even added a new character. One other thing I noticed though, was that Mowgli didn't have a female influence on his side. Sure he had mother wolf but she had a very short role and did nothing really heroic.
It makes me think that perhaps, this was the reason why Kaa, the python was voiced by a female actress in the new film to balance the gender equation that influenced young Mowgli.
Could it be? The other difference. Over the years, I managed to collect 4 pairs of glasses 2 of em are useless; prescription-wise and have earnt myself another pair recently.
Also, reading it this time around is not because of school requirement but just for the sake of reading and enjoying it as it should be.
And what makes it a spectacular read too is I BR it with a very good friend. Now, I will edit this review when Luke had finished and posted his review.
His review link will be added as I'm sure his thoughts will be thorough. After all there's a reason why he is the writer and I, I use that other pair of glasses I just acquired.

That is never a good sign for me, and it is that that has made this book a lower rated one. Personally, I don't think that all children now, would appreciate the style of writing and the setting like an adult would.
I'm glad I've read this classic, but for me, it definitely isn't a masterpiece. Oct 07, Leo. A story that is really an institution.
The characters mirrored in the Cub Scout Movement. I was a cub when I was a child and I adored the concept. Akela our leader and Bagheera.
I remember going camping and foraging and singing songs around the fire. The nostalgia is warming. An amazing five stars. I love this story. Brilliantly written by one of the greats.

This holds up surprisingly well for something that could have been full of English racism back in the good old days of Indeed, some of the stories read very much like a modern YA book of parables with animals who seem much more human than the humans.

But also horrifying is the tale of the sea cows, or rather, the White Seal. The tale of the elephant, Toomai, was delightful. I should say it would be a great book for any child, but not many modern children know crap about India except, in my daughter's case, some snappy tunes and dance moves.

Edit Cast Cast overview, first billed only: Neel Sethi Mowgli Bill Murray Baloo voice Ben Kingsley Bagheera voice Idris Elba Shere Khan voice Lupita Nyong'o Raksha voice Scarlett Johansson Kaa voice Giancarlo Esposito Akela voice Christopher Walken King Louie voice Garry Shandling Ikki voice Brighton Rose Favreau Gray voice as Brighton Rose Emjay Anthony Young Wolf voice Max Favreau Young Wolf voice Chloe Hechter Young Wolf voice Asher Blinkoff While many of the later Disney feature films had animators being responsible for single characters, in The Jungle Book the animators were in charge of whole sequences, since many have characters interacting with one another.
The animation was done by xerography , with character design, led by Ken Anderson , employing rough, artistic edges in contrast to the round animals seen in productions such as Dumbo.
Anderson also decided to make Shere Khan resemble his voice actor, George Sanders. Following one of Reitherman's trademarks of reusing animation of his previous films, the wolf cubs are based on dogs from Dalmatians.
Baloo was also based on footage of bears, even incorporating the animal's penchant for scratching. Since Kaa has no limbs, his design received big expressive eyes, and parts of Kaa's body did the action that normally would be done with hands.
The instrumental music was written by George Bruns and orchestrated by Walter Sheets. Two of the cues were reused from previous Disney films.
The scene where Mowgli wakes up after escaping King Louie used one of Bruns' themes for Sleeping Beauty ; and the scene where Bagheera gives a eulogy to Baloo when he mistakenly thinks the bear was killed by Shere Khan used Paul J.
Smith 's organ score from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The score features eight original songs: seven by the Sherman Brothers and one by Terry Gilkyson.
Longtime Disney collaborator Gilkyson was the first songwriter to bring several complete songs that followed the book closely but Walt Disney felt that his efforts were too dark.
The only piece of Gilkyson's work which survived to the final film was his upbeat tune " The Bare Necessities ", which was liked by the rest of the film crew.
The Sherman Brothers were then brought in to do a complete rewrite. Disney said the "nice, mysterious, heavy stuff" from both works was not what he aimed for, instead going for a "lightness, a Disney touch".
The Jungle Book was released in October , [9] just 10 months after Walt's death. The Jungle Book was re-released theatrically in North America three times, , , and , and also in Europe throughout the s and s.

It was reissued on video in as part of the Walt Disney Masterpiece Collection for the film's 30th anniversary.
The Jungle Book received positive reviews upon release, undoubtedly influenced by a nostalgic reaction to the death of Walt Disney.
Using some lovely exotic pastel backgrounds and a nice clutch of tunes, the picture unfolds like an intelligent comic-strip fairy tale". Retrospective reviews were also positive, with the film's animation, characters and music receiving much praise throughout the years.
The site's critical consensus reads, "With expressive animation, fun characters, and catchy songs, The Jungle Book endures as a crowd-pleasing Disney classic".

I mean, I don't know if I ever even watched the Disney adaptation all the way through. I was actually expecting all Mowgli stories.
More than half are not, act Lesson learned from this book: having been much- and long-beloved does not automatically make a book worth reading.
More than half are not, actually, about Mowgli in any way. What I was sorry to find, however, is that these stories are just classically bad.
In its own way, this is frankly one of the weirdest books I've ever read. Even its age doesn't pardon it, in my opinion. One of my first thoughts, rather unaccountably it may seem, was "This reads like the Bible.
For example, I recognize and appreciate the often-poetic language used in the Bible, and I can do the same here. The little songs and poems between the chapters are metrically perfect this counts for a lot, with me and if not beautiful, are nicely-formed; in form and language, they always evoke the characters he's created for the animals.
Here are a couple verses of the Song of the Bander-log [monkeys:]: Here we sit in a branchy row, Thinking of beautiful things we know.
Dreaming of deeds that we mean to do, All complete, in a minute or two- Something noble and wise and good, Done by merely wishing we could.
We've forgotten, but- never mind, Brother, thy tail hangs down behind! All the talk we ever have heard, Uttered by bat or beast or bird- Hide or fin or scale or feather - Jabber it quickly and all together!
One again! Now we are talking just like men! Let's pretend we are — never mind, Brother, thy tail hangs down behind!
This is the way of the monkey-kind. It's cute Now for what I really dislike. Two words: imperialism and anthropocentrism.
Actually, anthropomorphism as well, but that can hardly be avoided, to a degree, so I'll let it go. The 'best' of the various animal characters speak like noble British subjects of about the sixteenth century, no less — people in Kipling's day didn't even talk like this — "thee-thy-thou, overformality considering we live in a jungle" etc, it's maddening , they have their own strict Jungle Law, and they call themselves people.
Could it be any more obvious that these animals are meant to represent humans? Furthermore, that the non-humanlike animals are fated by nature to kowtow to the more 'civilized' species?
This kind of attitude may be common enough in folktales and mythology, but doesn't excuse the gross colonial bias with which the whole jungle universe, both inhabitants and organizing principles, are presented.
The animals respect, virtually worship, the humans. Though nearly all the characters are animals, everything about the stories centers around humanity, that is the glorious courage, order and reason of the British empire.
