From School Library Journal
Grade 2-4–Tableaus of amazing size and intricacy unfold–and then unfold more–with each leaf's turn in this adaptation of Kipling's classic tale. Reinhart begins with a broad jungle scene for baby Mowgli's rescue from Shere Khan. He sets the lad's rescue from the monkeys against a towering ruin; takes him to the treasure chambers where White Cobra lurks behind a flap; pairs his first encounter with humans to a startling, savage leaping tiger; shows him enlisting a herd of elephants to destroy the village; and finishes with his farewell to a reunion of downcast animal friends on craggy Council Rock. Along with smaller pop-ups, the text is tucked beneath flaps in one or two corners of each scene. That text has been dramatically shortened, but Reinhart preserves at least vestiges of the original's stately language. Along with being a natural centerpiece for displays, this book provides a memorable introduction to both the film and the full-length literary work.–John Peters, New York Public Library

Jungle Book Takes City Boy's Breath,
By Ron Lindsey "bookmantoo" (Pasadena, TX United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Jungle Book: A Pop-Up Adventure (Classic Collectible Pop-Ups) (Hardcover)
When I first saw THE WONDERFUL WIZARD OF OZ (from the Robert Sabuda Studios), I was sure that nothing could surpass the complexity and paper engineering finesse exhibited. Then, MOMMY was released (and even though Maurice Sendak and Matthew Reinhart gave no credit to Eastman's ARE YOU MY MOTHER?, I still felt that I had seen another remarkable advance in pop-up book technology. Now, that I've held THE JUNGLE BOOK by Matthew Reinhart and sat in awe at his two-foot pop-up, I cannot even conceive of what could out-do this magical experience. I'm sure something will, and believe me, I want to be there when it happens.

This review is from: The Jungle Book: A Pop-Up Adventure (Classic Collectible Pop-Ups) (Hardcover)
This is well designed and constructed. This book would belong on anyone's short list of TOP pop-up books. My 3 yr old grandchild adores my pop-up collection and this is one of her favorites - boys love this one also.

Beautiful Pop Up Book!,
By Lynn Ellingwood "The ESOL Teacher" (Webster, NY United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The Jungle Book: A Pop-Up Adventure (Classic Collectible Pop-Ups) (Hardcover)
The Pop Up book of The Jungle Book is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen. It is amazing in it's scope. I love it madly. I use pop up books and other more dynamic books in my classroom because I teach ESOL (English to Speakers of Other Languages. Since reading English can be difficult, other stragegies can be used to entice students into reading English. The pop up books are facinating and ofteh not used in other cultures so they are great to intrigue students. The Jungle Book has an attachment to India and Asia so that helps my students also.
