A new version of Rudyard Kipling’s story The Jungle Book has popped up on the app stores for iOS and Android… literally.
The Jungle Book is the work of StoryToys – the latest classic tale to be turned into a virtual pop-up storybook by the developer.
Mowgli, Baloo, Bagheera and the nefarious Shere Khan are all present and correct with 3D animated scenes, music and sound effects, and some simple mini-games to keep children interested.
They’ll be searching for baby Mowgli in the undergrowth; knocking fruit off trees into Baloo’s mouth; picking thorns out of a wolf’s paws and cooling down elephants with a mud bath, among other activities.
Judging by previous StoryToys apps, it’ll be great fun. The Jungle Book costs £2.99 on the App Store for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, and £2.99 on the Google Play Store for Android. Here’s a video demo:
