The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling and read by Alistair McGowan

The Jungle Book is a famous story. This is an abridged version of it, and lasts for 1 hour. I play it at night for my 6-year-old daughter as she goes to sleep. Here are some of things she recalls from the story:

  • At the start the wolves found a baby and called him Mowgli.
  • Shere Khan wanted to eat him and they said no, but Shere Khan said "I will have him in the end."
  • The mother wolf told Mowgli that Shere Khan was coming again to catch him so he had to go to the bushes every day to hide, and when Shere Khan did come the wolves attacked him until he was dead.
  • Mowgli had his two friends, Bagheera and Baloo.
She also told me how Mowgli went to the monkey city.

After a few listens she liked this, but from this series she prefers Bill Nighy Reads The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (Famous Fiction) which "is a little bit more interesting".
