Reviews / Votes
The illustrations in the Manga Classics adaptation of The Jungle Book bring the story to life in a whole new way. The combined beauty and danger of the jungle have never been portrayed as beautifully as they are in the landscapes captured within the panels of this graphic novel. This is a really good book for getting kids into classic literature. It feels fresh, and the stories are fun and easy to follow. The visuals are enticing, including those set with the poems. The editing choices were expertly done so lengthy passages are beautifully translated into comprehensible visuals, and they also give the stories an overall smoother flow. It makes what before might have been an intimidating read for young readers into something to look forward to. But really, people of any age will enjoy this one. It's perfect to keep in your bag or have by your bed, for those times when you just want to enjoy a good book. Manga Classics The Jungle Book is available in paperback and hardback here and here. Happy reading!More details
