This is a retelling of Disney's new blockbuster animated film Tarzan, the classic story of the orphaned human baby adopted by apes in the African jungle. Tarzan grows up in the jungle with the gorillas. He learns the ways of the jungle, but always feels different, somehow. When he meets others of his kind: Professor Porter, his daughter Jane, and Clayton, the hunter, he realizes that there are others in the world like him. The humans convince Tarzan to let them meet his gorilla family, but then he must protect his family from the evil machinations of the human Clayton. Then he and Jane can live in peace and happiness in the jungle.

Summary: Tarzan
The Edgar Rice Burroughs books are full of suspense, a perfect bedtime story. The best thing is that many (if not all of them) can be downloaded from from Project Gutenberg. Try reading the first one, Tarzan of the Apes, to your child as a serial bedtime story. They'll be begging to go to bed.

Summary: Disney's Tarzan , clear and Precise
This version of Disney's Tarzan is clearly written and has accurate drawings true to the film's content. Rarely do you find a smaler version of the big books so well presented.

Summary: Smaller successor to the Disney Classic series
Disney Mouseworks seems to be moving to smaller books and it looks like the end of the line of the Disney Classics series. The new Read-Aloud Storybooks are shorter (by about 20 pages) and smaller (by an inch here and there). That's too bad for those of us who have been collecting the old series. The paper is nicer and the artwork is very good, though, so it's not a total loss.

Summary: at least they didn't make him sing!
anyone who wants to read about tarzan should read thje books of edgar rice burroughs, not waste their time with this watered down shadow of the lord of the jungle. mr burroughs must be spinning in his grave like a top.

Summary: edgar rice burroughs must be rolling over in his grave!
edgar rice burroughs created a hero to equal ulysses,hercules, or paul bunyan. walt disney studios reduced this giant to the size of mickey mouse. after you see the movie, read the REAL story in burroughs' TARZAN OF THE APES, thankfully still in print, and see how it really happened.
