In this stunning retelling of a phenomenal classic, honor is tested, battles of good over evil are waged, and the importance of family reigns supreme. True to Rudyard Kipling's original story, tree branches literally draw the reader in to this tale of Mowgli the Man Cub exploring the ruins of the Lost City, riding atop thundering elephants, and facing a fierce tiger attack! A must-have for every family's library, this epic pop-up adventure features paper engineering as intricate and magical as the very laws of the jungle.

The Jungle Book: A Pop-Up Adventure (Classic Collectible Pop-Ups) CustomerReview




This book is a condensed version of the original accompanied with wonderful pop-ups. It has six two-page spreads, but there is also at least one partial-page fold out on every spread (partial pages are half the size or smaller than the main page). The main spreads each have a large pop up. The partial pages, typically two mini two-page spreads themselves, all have a pop up per spread, too. When you turn some of the partial spreads, they trigger changes in the main spread. The pages are full of color, including the back sides of the pop ups. The font is easy to read.

The condensed text works in that you aren't left with gaping holes in the story if you don't know the full version. Know that it is condensed so your favorite part might not be included.

The large pop ups are fabulous and the smaller ones are interesting. For the most part, the pop ups open and close smoothly. I did have trouble with two small ones: -one has a part that is not properly glued and it catches when I try to close it -a part is supposed to spin, but mine spins only some of the time.

This book would be interesting for the very young (with help to deal with the pop ups), tweens/teens who are reading the original story, and collectors. It could spark interest for reluctant readers when paired with the original.

DESCRIPTION OF POP UPS - A description of the pop ups isn't as helpful in general, but it will give you an idea of how many pop ups are included. Also, it may provide insight as to what is included in this condensed version. The list gives the main pop up, then partial page pop ups included on that main spread.
