Walt Disney's the Jungle Book, Disney's Wonderful World of Reading
ISBN 0717283364 - My faith in Disney is restored. Having just reviewed another Disney edition of this book [[ASIN:0307003264 Disney's the Jungle Book (Little Golden Book)]] that was a small letdown, I'm thrilled to find Disney really is as good as I think. I'm copy and pasting the recap portion of that review, because it's the same: <
> <
>Mowgli, left in the jungle as an infant, is taken, by Bagheera the panther, to a wolf family's den to be raised. The animals are his friends and he learns from them until, suddenly, Shere Khan returns to the jungle. Like all tigers, Shere Khan hates man - and Mowgli, now ten, is a "man". His friends work to convince him to leave the jungle, but Mowgli doesn't want to go, facing various dangers to stay in the place he knows as his home. Until, that is, he sees a young human girl singing at the water and follows her home to her village. <
> <
>Disney's illustrations in both editions are worthy of 5 stars, but this one actually GETS those 5 stars because the text is much better. Without being excessively wordy, this edition goes into more detail, not leaving out important details (in ISBN 0307003264, Mowgli's adoptive wolf mother doesn't even say a word when the pack votes to send him away, for example). The pace is a little slower here, allowing the story to feel far less hurried. <

>Disney's Wonderful World of Reading series are, indeed, wonderful - a set no child's library is complete without - and the added bonus of introducing your child to Kipling early in their life is just the icing on the cake. <

One of Disneyýs Best Golden Books
The artwork in this book is very colorfully attractive and true to the Disney's Jungle Book movie. It is amazing that so much detail was put into the illustrations.

Another excellent feature about this book is how well the story was condensed from the film. It's almost all here. Often the Golden Books base their stories from segments taken from the movie. That is not the case here.

The story of Mowgli, the man-cub, befriended by the animals of the Jungle in India comes to life in concise and easy to read words. Bagheera the wise panther, Baloo the bumbling bear, and all his other jungle friends are all here as they make their way to the man-village. Mowgli saves the day by fending off the sly tiger, Shere Khan.

This is a very good book.
