BGPF034 | The Jungle Book
By Dr. Rajeev Tamhankar
The video presents a detailed introduction to a comic adaptation of *The Jungle Book* by Rudyard Kipling. It emphasizes how the story has been redesigned with Pixar-style high-definition graphics to teach social-emotional intelligence and vocabulary. The framework, known as ECDO (Engager, Caregiver, Dynamizer, and Optimizer), is used to structure the story in a way that imparts compassion, empathy, and courage to children.
