Description: Listen to "The Ballad of East and West":

> Oh, East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet,
> Till Earth and Sky stand presently af God's great Judgment Seat;
> But there is neither East nor West, Border, nor Breed, nor Birth,
> When two strong men stand face to face, though they come from the ends of the earth!

Hear about "The Cat That Walked by Himself," learn one of the laws of the jungle in "Mowgli's Brothers", feel the excitement of travel in "The Beginning of the Armadilloes," and much more in the poems of Rudyard Kipling. The structure, rhythms, and rhymes of his words—and the stories they weave—will spark the imagination of children. So will the vivid, thrilling illustrations that will open up a world of exploration, foreign lands, and wild animals to them. Art and verse come together in a volume that will be treasured for years to come.
Notes: An illustrated collection of twenty-eight notable poems by Rudyard Kipling, with commentary and definitions of unfamiliar words. Includes an introduction about the poet's life and work.
