In this adaptation of Kipling's classic, each turn of the page reveals a large intricately engineered pop-up tableau as well as smaller vignettes that unfold in corners. The most impressive of the pop-ups include monkeys swinging from a towering temple and fierce Shere Khan the tiger ready to pounce on his prey Mowgli. The creative bravura of these pop-ups--many even have flocking--will amaze readers.
