Everyone knows the classic story of The Jungle Book. Whether you read it in school, or watched the Disney animated version, you know the beloved characters of Mowgli, Balloo, and Bagheera and their fight to stay safe in the jungle.

Readers young and old will enjoy the seek and find aspect of the book, with just the right amount of challenge to keep you interested, but not frustrated (although there is a guide in the back of the book for those who would like a hint or two). This book is best when shared, so gather together and enjoy this classic with a twist.
