Este libro me gustó más de lo que esperaba. Es muy diferente a la película de Disney, pero tiene su propia magia. Mowgli es un niño travieso con un profundo deseo de pertenecer, y aunque ser un “cachorro de hombre” lo hace distinto a su familia en la selva, también es lo que le permite encontrar su verdadero lugar. Baloo y Bagheera me encantaron—son leales, sabios y tiernos a su manera. Sin duda, Mowgli no habría llegado tan lejos sin ellos. Una lectura entretenida y sorprendentemente profunda.
