The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling
3.0
I can't say that I really enjoyed this all that much. I appreciate the fluid language and style, but I ultimately didn't connect with the characters and the story. Maybe I wanted the Disney version with a singing Baloo, but I think more likely, the classic tale would be all but forgotten if not for the Disney movie.
The strong point in the book was the Rikki-Tikki-Tavi story. It was a much tighter package than the rest of the stories with immediate and conclusive conflict. Read this to your kids and really scare the pants off them!
Toomai of the Elephants was by far my least favorite of the stories. I could not get into the story at all and just wanted to skip it altogether.
