The Jungle Book: Mowgli's Story by Nicola Bayley, Rudyard Kipling

2.0

It's certainly almost nothing like the earliest Dsney film of the same name, so much that it's hard to even begin comparing the two. But even judging it just as a children's book alone, it seems more intense that I would've expected (reading as an adult who hadn't read it before). But maybe that's the point. If a kid is unimpressed with the "baby stuff" found in other juvenile-aimed stories, have him/her read The Jungle Book. For that age, it's some intense stuff.
