The Jungle Book

by: Rudyard Kipling
*No cover copy*
So, what surprised me most about this book was that the Jungle Book that we were used to seeing from Disney is not actually the entire book. This is actually a book filled with many stories. Some, obviously, like the Jungle Book we are used to, are longer than others. But I was so confused when a new story started and I still had pages and pages to go. Mind = Blown. I guess there are some surprises to waiting until you are an adult o finally pick up and read a children's classic! Haha 
That being said, I really enjoyed the format and the other stories. I especially liked the elephant story and the snake and mongoose tale. Both of those are almost more vivid to me than the Mowgli story as I think back on it.

It was seven o'clock of a very warm evening in the Seeonee hills when Father Wolf woke up from his day's rest, scratched himself, yawned, and spread out his paws one after the other to get rid of the sleepy feeling in their tips. {first line}
"Let them fall... They are only tears."
