This book is very beautiful

MagdaReviewed by Magda

I was surprised to find that the jungle book consists out of different stories with sea lions, donkeys, monkeys and cobras. But I think that I wouldn't have enjoyed the stories besides Mogli as a child. Still worth getting to know the stories. I liked the one about the white seal :)
