The Jungle Book (BBC Children's Classics): Card for Yoto Player / Mini

A fantastic full-cast adaptation of the ever popular fable. 

Rudyard Kipling's famous tale tells the story of Mowgli, the 'man-cub' rescued from the tiger, Shere Khan, and adopted by a wolf pack. As he grows up, Mowgli learns the ways of the jungle from Baloo the bear, Bagheera the black panther and Kaa the rock python. His life is full of adventure with the jungle creatures, but soon the time comes when he is forced to leave and take his place among his own people. A kind woman looks after Mowgli but she can't protect him from the superstitious villagers who believe his friendship with wolves is the result of sorcery. Mowgli's only escape is to return to the jungle. But even the jungle has become a dangerous place.

This rich and entertaining dramatisation skilfully blends words with jungle sounds and music, and stars Eartha Kitt as Kaa, Freddie Jones as Baloo, Jonathan Hyde as Bagheera and Nisha Nayar as Mowgli.

Yoto Cards let kids choose which audio content they’d like to listen to on their Yoto Player. Just pop a Yoto Card into the top of your Yoto Player to start the audio and take it out to pause. When you reinsert your card, the audio starts from the moment you paused it.

Yoto Cards are sturdily built to resist the destructive powers of tiny hands, and the NFC chip in each allows the Player to read the content. Parents can also trigger playback on compatible smartphones by tapping the card on the back of your phone.

Requires Yoto Player.  Yoto Player is a carefully-connected smart speaker for kids, which lets children listen to audiobooks, music, podcasts, sound effects and more using physical cards. Yoto Player is built for kids from the ground up and plays only the audio that you want.
