Our students love graphic novels and they are wonderful for introducing these students to the classics in a very accessible and non-threatening way.  I often have students ask for the original text of a classic after reading the graphic novel version.  This version of the Jungle Book should be no exception.  Engaging and exciting pictures and storyline draw in the reader and the length keeps him/her reading to the end.  At an AR level of 3.0 and .5 points, this book will also appeal to the reluctant reader.
