The Jungle Book: A Pop-Up Adventure (Classic Collectible Pop-Ups) Reviews
Shere Khan. It could spark interest for reluctant readers when paired with the original. Monkey People in the Lost City (almost 2-foot high). This book would be interesting for the very young (with help to deal with the pop ups), tweens/teens who are reading the original story, and collectors.
Mowgli & elephants. The condensed text works in that you aren't left with gaping holes in the story if you don't know the full version. Also, it may provide insight as to what is included in this condensed version. -Mang the Bat -Mowgli & Messua -elephant knocking over hut.
For the most part, the pop ups open and close smoothly. -Mowgli (triggers White Cobra to appear on main) -skull. The font is easy to read. Jungle scene (with moving waterfall). It has six two-page spreads, but there is also at least one partial-page fold out on every spread (partial pages are half the size or smaller than the main page). .
The list gives the main pop up, then partial page pop ups included on that main spread. The main spreads each have a large pop up. -Kaa, the Python -Mowgli, Baloo, Bagheera, and Kaa. I did have trouble with two small ones: -one has a part that is not properly glued and it catches when I try to close it -a part is supposed to spin, but mine spins only some of the time.
The pages are full of color, including the back sides of the pop ups. Wolves, Baloo, and Kaa on rocks. Know that it is condensed so your favorite part might not be included. The large pop ups are fabulous and the smaller ones are interesting. DESCRIPTION OF POP UPS - A description of the pop ups isn't as helpful in general, but it will give you an idea of how many pop ups are included.
When you turn some of the partial spreads, they trigger changes in the main spread. -Mowgli -Bagheera & flower (triggers Mowgli's return to village on main). -village huts -Mowgli with spinning fire -Messua -Mowgli on steer. The partial pages, typically two mini two-page spreads themselves, all have a pop up per spread, too. Vault of the Lost City (glittery).
This book is a condensed version of the original accompanied with wonderful pop-ups. -Mowgli -Mother Wolf -Baloo -Bagheera.
The Pop Up book of The Jungle Book is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen. Since reading English can be difficult, other stragegies can be used to entice students into reading English. It is amazing in it's scope. I love it madly. The Jungle Book has an attachment to India and Asia so that helps my students also. I use pop up books and other more dynamic books in my classroom because I teach ESOL (English to Speakers of Other Languages. The pop up books are facinating and ofteh not used in other cultures so they are great to intrigue students.
I'm sure they will love it. This was ordered as a Christmas gift for my grandchildren. It looked great when it arrived.
Highly recommended Full of imagination and creactivity that book is realy great and full of many impressive pop-ups. As I said one of the best I've seen.
IT is very special - a great unique gift for 3-7 yrs. My 3 yr old son loves it but need supervision to avoid tears. Incredible pop up art.
