emiged 's review for:

The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling
5.0

One of my favorite classics for kids. The stories are exciting, the descriptions evocative, the characterizations multi-layered. Kipling is a master of the English language and it shows. My favorite story is "Red Dog" where Mowgli, with Kaa's help, outwits and defeats the dhole pack, but all of the stories are great. I love reading of Mowgli's growth and coming of age as he makes the difficult decision to leave the jungle behind.
