Chan}"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><BR><br \/>\n<strong>{Synopsis} \u2013 <\/strong>Welcome to The Jungle Book! Book One of The Jungle Book(s) includes Mowgli\u2019s Brothers, the story of Mowgli, the abandoned man-cub who was raised by animals in the Indian jungle, Rikki-Tikki-Tavi the heroic mongoose, and Toomai of the Elephants, the tale of a young elephant-handler, and in The White Seal, we meet Kotick, a rare white-furred northern fur seal as he searches for a home where his family will not be hunted by humans. Originally written as a series of short stories for magazines in the late 1800s, the Nobel Prize-winning Rudyard Kipling would eventually publish the classic The Jungle Book in 1894.<\/p>\n<p><strong>{My thoughts} \u2013 <\/strong>When I think of the Jungle Book, I honestly think about the movie that was created by Disney. I have not had the pleasure of reading the actual classic books in which the movie is based on. When I&#8217;d seen that this Manga version was available, I&#8217;d jumped at the opportunity to try and read it. I can say without a doubt I wasn&#8217;t disappointed. <\/p>\n<p>The Jungle Book is a collection of short stories by Rudyard Kipling. The six stories that the manga adapts include Mowgli\u2019s Brothers, Kaa\u2019s Hunting, Tiger! Tiger!, The White Seal, Rikki-Tikki-Tavi, Toomai of the Elephants, and Her Majesty\u2019s Service.<\/p>\n<p>As I read through each of these different stories with the accompanying illustrations, they helped me to see how remarkable the tales truly were. I have been slowly reading through the Manga Classics so that I can better understand the stories in which they are based on. I have to admit that I&#8217;d never really had a great interest in reading the actual classic books, but these versions are so easy to enjoy and fall in love with. I can&#8217;t help but think, why hadn&#8217;t I read these sooner? <\/p>\n<p> I really enjoyed this version of the stories and am looking forward to reading the original version in the future. Let me make a mental note to add that to my list of books I need to purchase. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Final Conclusion:<\/strong> 5 Star Rating. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/signature-300x114.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"114\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9555\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/signature-300x114.png 300w, http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/signature.png 329w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>{Synopsis} \u2013 Welcome to The Jungle Book!
