Strong fever dream vibes in this addition to the Meg and Mog canon. Not a lot of narrative coherency but very vivid illustrations and a bit of a chaotic laugh.

They were never good but these stories are getting worse

Honestly, I can’t twig what the appeal is for this one. Meg in the Jungle reads like a half-remembered fever dream. The tiger cub and the stripes situation is dated and uncomfortable - how did that slip through in 2016?

Strange. I think I'm just not a fan.
