App Description

"… you would be hard pressed to find a better designed children's app that originated from a book." -PCMag.com/AppScout, 1/24/12

Random House and Smashing Ideas are proud to present a brand new way to experience Rudyard Kipling's classic The Jungle Book.

Created by the co-author of Alice for the iPad, this fully interactive application will take you on Mowgli's journey as he is raised by wolves in the Indian Jungle, searches for acceptance, and ultimately must come face-to-face with his fate and Shere Khan.

Choose to get lost in the timeless original text featuring the stories 'Mowgli's Brothers', 'Kaa's Hunting', and 'Tiger! Tiger!' or share the picture-book version with the children in your family. Each tale includes breath-taking original artwork, beautiful interactive scenes, and rich sound-effects all designed to pull you deeper into the story. Break Bagheera from his cage, assist Kaa in hypnotizing the monkeys, and even help Mowgli confront Shere Khan.
