Monday, 30 June 2014 at 00:00

Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book has been given a Manx makeover.

Culture Vannin has teamed up with UK-based Giglets Limited to launch the second Manx language interactive eBook.

It's a translation of the popular story and features a read along soundtrack and full colour animations - you can download it from iTunes.

Culture Vannin says it is constantly looking for new and innovative ways to develop resources for Manx speakers and leaners.
