My name is Joud. I’m 7 yo. This is my first ten chapters book. I like this book. It is good that Mowgli turned back to the jungle because he loves his friends.

Well adapted and illustrations are good. Makes it easier to read it to a young child.

Read it while helping my little brother summarise the story for his school. I hope he reads the original and the unabridged one day soon enough. ♥️
