The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling

A collection of Kipling's first Jungle Book which features Mowgli, Rikki-Tikki-Tavi and Toomai stories with Kipling's poetry mixed throughout the book. Color illustrations accompany this edition. Some content might be questionable for young children.

I hadn't heard the Rikki-Tikki-Tavi story in a long time and really loved it again. I also enjoyed revisiting Mowgli, Baloo and Baghera. This would be a good option to read aloud to children especially boys. I remember loving this book and the idea of the jungle and wild animals.

Kipling, R. (1977). The jungle book. New York, NY: Grosset & Dunlap.

Illustrated by Fritz Eichenberg
