The Jungle Book (With the Original Illustrations by John L Kipling) - Timeless Tales of Friendship and Adventure in the Indian Jungle

Rudyard Kipling

Sinopse

Rudyard Kipling's "The Jungle Book," accompanied by the original illustrations by John L. Kipling, is a masterful collection of stories that center around the life of Mowgli, a young boy raised by wolves in the jungles of India. Combining elements of fable and adventure, the narrative employs rich, evocative language that immerses readers into a world where animals speak, and the laws of nature clash with human customs. Kipling'Äôs intricate storytelling reflects the colonial context of the British Empire, where encounters between differing cultures produce profound ethical implications and highlight the tension between civilization and the wild. Rudyard Kipling, born in 1865 in British India, was profoundly influenced by his early experiences in this vibrant land, which nurtured his fascination with the natural world and its inhabitants. The interplay of culture and environment in his upbringing shapes much of his literary work, including "The Jungle Book," where he explores themes of identity, belonging, and the universal struggle for survival. Kipling's extensive travels and observations of diverse communities enhanced his ability to create compelling characters and settings that embody the complexities of life. This timeless classic is highly recommended for readers of all ages. Kipling'Äôs vivid prose and the enchanting illustrations evoke both the wonder and harshness of the jungle, making it not only an entertaining adventure but also a profound commentary on the relationship between man and nature. "The Jungle Book" remains a seminal work that resonates with contemporary discussions about ecological identity, making it a must-read for those seeking both enjoyment and deeper understanding.

WaitWho Got Goosed? - Mother...

Julie Cole

Wait...Who Got Goosed? is a contemporary, remixed version of Mother Goose's memorable fables about our human foibles. As in the original rhymes, modern day characters' struggles with questionable judgment result in predictable, and sometimes messy, outcomes. Just what is it that causes us to ignore cautionary tales of old and continue the cycle of having to learn (or not learn) from our own mistakes? 
Having the opportunity to rewrite these familiar lyric stories about missteps through a more humanitarian lens made the journey of writing a modern version of stories from the past especially enjoyable. The Companion Activity Book offers the same potential wordplay and enjoyment for young and young-at-heart poets alike. Readers of all ages, including those familiar with the original Mother Goose rhymes, will enjoy this new iteration of poems that add insight and poignancy to lessons of humility and kindness. Many poems highlight the potential favorability of outcomes when responded to with compassion. So often, serious topics shared through poetry and humor can make our shortcomings a bit easier to digest.

The Dog Who Wouldn't Be

Farley Mowat

The heartwarming, classic true story of a dog who didn’t understand he’s a dog—and the imaginative boy who loved him. Funny and poignant, The Dog Who Wouldn’t Be is a lively portrait of an unorthodox childhood and an unforgettable friendship. Growing up in on the frontier of Saskatoon, Canada, the legendary adventurer and naturalist, Farley Mowat, received a gift from his mom: a dog she bought for four cents. Farley quickly named him “Mutt.” Mutt displayed skills at hunting and retrieving that were either pure genius or just plain crazy—once going so far as to retrieve a plucked and trussed ruffed grouse from the grocer. Mutt also loved riding passenger in an open car wearing goggles and climbing both trees and ladders — the perfect companion for a child with a love for animals and misadventures. Originally published for young people, this is a memoir by the author Never Cry Wolf that will delight dog lovers of all ages.“The Dog Who Wouldn’t Be was, and will forever remain, one of my first and deepest literary loves. When I first read it as a child, it became my “gateway book” to Farley Mowat’s other great works, books which inspired me throughout my life. Re-reading it as an adult . . . I fell in love all over again with the eccentric and talented Mutt, with Farley’s boyhood adventures, with the wild Saskatoon prairie. This classic remains one of the best biographies of an animal ever written–a masterful tribute to the bond between an extraordinary boy and an extraordinary dog.” —Sy Montgomery, author of Tamed and Untamed: Close Encounters of the Animal Kind
