Get Out Your Imagination!.......2003-01-08
The cover of this book caught my attention as I whizzed by it in the bookstore. I figured it would be too advanced for my 20-month-old son but he has been intrigued by the pictures and story ever since I brought it home! You can be so creative while reading it that children just want to hear it over and over again! It made me pursue other David McPhail books to see if he just had a great one or if he's always this creative!!!
Edward in the Jungle.......2002-07-07
I can't say enough wonderful things about this story - the author is so in touch with a young child's imagination. The illustrations are spectacular and contribute greatly to the books appeal. This is one of the few books I have found that encourages reading and imagination in such a wonderful way. My son will be learning to read soon and Edward shows him that books and stories will take him anywhere. This was the first "Edward" book we bought. We loved it so much we hurried out to get "Edward and the Pirates" and "Santa's Book of Names". "Santa's Book of Names" seems to be the first book written about Edward and is my personal favorite.
Edward, Tarzan, and a Great Adventure............2002-06-11
Young Edward loves to read, especially adventure books, and so on this sunny afternoon he takes his set of animals "just like the animals in Tarzan's jungle" out to the "jungle" behind his house. "He spread them out around him, then lay back on the cool moss and opened another Tarzan adventure." Edward was enjoying his book so much that he didn't notice the crocodile creeping silently his way until it was almost too late. "The crocodile lunged at Edward, but at that instant Edward was snatched out of the way by none other than Tarzan himself, and a moment later they were swinging through the trees on a sturdy vine..." David McPhail is back with another reading adventure, and kids who loved Edward And The Pirates are sure to enjoy his latest "Edward" picture book. Mr McPhail's text is entertaining and exciting, and only outdone by his amazing bold and vivid illustrations that transport young adventurers to the deep, dark jungle for an intriguing fantasy filled with danger, heroics and lots of fun. Perfect for youngsters 4-8, Edward In The Jungle sends kids a wonderful and subtle message about the power of reading...You can go anywhere, do anything, and be anyone, when you open a book and let your imagination soar.
Book Description
THE BEASTS OF TARZAN
As the rich Lord Greystoke, Tarzan found himself the target of greedy, evil men. Stranded on a desert island, his wife and son kidnapped, Tarzan's plight seemed helpless. But with the help of Sheeta, the ferocious panther, and the great ape Akut, Tarzan crafted his escape with the giant Mugambi. Yet the trail of the kidnappers led deep into the interior--and it would take all of Tarzan's skills to reach his family in time.
THE SON OF TARZAN
Tarzan's young son narrowly escaped the wrath of his father's nemesis Paulvitch, and he was forced to flee into the savage African jungles where Tarzan himself had been reared. There the civilized boy would have to learn to face the great beasts and exotic dangers only his father had ever conquered. And as he became known as Korak the Killer--whose legend would rival that of Tarzan--he would learn that the dangers of the jungle were nothing compared to those devised by men . . .

Good adventures for kids today.......2003-05-28
I first read these books a few years ago, when I was twelve. I loved all of the Tarzan series (although Jane and Jack seem to disappear later in the series) but these two novels were my favorites. Although I already owned both books, I bought this version simply because having two of my favorite novels in one volume seemed too good to be true. I re-read these books twice a year. The action keeps coming and never lets up (this from a girl who was quickly bored with The Lord of the Rings).
There is also a sort of poetic irony that Burroughs employs. Tarzan comes from the jungle into civilization, while his son goes from civilization to the jungle. While Tarzan grew up without any sort of guidance or moral direction, he is one of the most chivalrous, honorable, and genuinely good people that I've ever encountered in any book (save the bible.) The implication is that the jungle beasts are sometimes more noble and less cruel (albeit no more gentle) than humans who should know better. Indeed, when Jack and Meriem encounter other apes, baboons, or even people, they insist that they are Great Apes and not human (and are proud of the distinction). This is furthered by the fact that the most unlikely of people (as in the ugly, filthy cook on the ship which holds Jane hostage) sometimes are the most brave and good.
Overall, these two stories are great adventures that hold something deeper for anyone who cares to look.
The Tarzan series.......2002-09-22
I have read most of these books and have found them very enjoyable.I am tring to get the whole series again to reread andfor my son's to read as well
The Greystoke Family Saga continues.......2000-05-17
Both of these books follow on the story begun by the 1st 2 in the series. In Beasts, the villainous Rokoff and Petrovich return to destroy Tarzan's family. His son is taken to Africa to be raised by cannibals, Jane is to receive a "fate worse than death and Tarzan is marooned on a jungle island. How Tarzan escapes and foils the schem is a well-told adventure. In Son, young Jack ends up in Africa and runs afoul of apes and slavers. Following in the footsteps of his father, he reverts to a savage stage while battling for the lives of himself and his love.
Tarzan (cont) and Korak - two great adventure tales.......1999-09-18
I read both of these books as a boy, and always remembered how exciting The Son of Tarzan was. I was surprised, rereading The Beasts of Tarzan, at how well it continues the story started by the first two books (Tarzan of the Apes and The Return of Tarzan). If you want adventure, these first four books are, for me, the core of Tarzan. I can't say how they hold up for kids today, but its hard to imagine not liking them. And, saving the best for last, The Son of Tarzan is STILL one of my favorites! It is less well known than the Tarzan legend, and perhaps more exciting as a result.
Completion of the best 4-book series ever.......1998-07-25
In book 3 (The Beasts of Tarzan), the villian, Rokov, kidnaps Tarzan's family and strands him on an island. Of course our hero wins out but the plot is clever, the action terriffic, and the ending satifying. Overall a super ride to follow the first two (excellent) books. In book 4 (The Son of Tarzan), little Jack goes to Africa to return his newfound friend (an ape) to the wild. Jack has a series of great adventures and meets and falls in love with his future wife.
These two books cap the first four in the Tarzan series and all four taken together should make anyone's 'must read' list. 5 stars to all 4.
Book Description
TARZAN AND THE JEWELS OF OPAR
In the forgotten city of Opar the bloodied sacrificial altar of the Flaming God stood above the vaults piled high with the gold destined for fabled, lost Atlantis. There the beautiful high priestess La still dreamed of Tarzan, who had escaped her knife before. But now Tarzan was returning, and the hideous priests were waiting for him. Tarzan was prepared for them, but he could not avoid the earthquake that struck him down in the vaults and left him with only his childhood memories among the savage apes who reared him.
JUNGLE TALES OF TARZAN
The young Tarzan was unlike the great apes who were his only companions. Theirs was a simple, savage life. But Tarzan had all of a normal boy's desire to learn, and he had painfully taught himself to read from books left by his dead father. Now he tried to apply this book knowledge to the world of the jungle. He searched for the love and affection that every human being needs. But he was alone in his struggles to grow and understand--and the life of the jungle had no room for abstractions.
Book Description
TARZAN TRIUMPHANT
Mortal danger engulfed Tarzan. A powerful assassin from a wicked regime had teamed up with thieving cutthroats known as shiftas to destroy the ape-man once and for all. He would need every bit of his animal cunning and brute strength to emerge victorious over these murderous fanatics!
TARZAN AND THE CITY OF GOLD
Magnificent in all his primitive savagery, the prisoner Tarzan stood unbowed before the beautiful Nemone, evil queen of the forgotten city of Cathne. Escape seemed futile as the ape-man engaged in a seductive battle of wits with the demonic ruler, who was herself torn between lust and loathing for the bronzed, irresistible hero . . .

Book Description
TARZAN THE UNTAMED
With the speed of the great apes, Tarzan rushed through the jungle toward his home and family. But he was already too late. The marauders had been there before him. His farm was in shambles and no one was left alive. Silently, he swore his terrible vengeance against those who had done this monstrous deed. Then he set out grimly to track them . . . through warring armies . . . across a vast desert that no man had ever crossed . . . and to a strange valley where only madmen lived.
TARZAN THE TERRIBLE
Lieutenant Obergatz had fled in terror from the seeking vengeance of Tarzan of the Apes. And with him, by force, he had taken Tarzan's beloved mate, Jane. Now the ape-man was following the faint spoor of their flight, into a region no man had ever penetrated. The trail led across seemingly impassable marshes into Pal-ul-don--a savage land where primitive Waz-don and Ho-don fought fiercely, wielding knives with their long, prehensile tails--and where mighty triceratops still survived from the dim dawn of time . . .

The Dell Comics Tarzan: Tarzan the Untamed/Tarzan the Terrible.......2006-12-13
It is commonly agreed among ERB fans that Tarzan the Untamed and Tarzan the Terrible are two of the best books of the series. They make a pair that complete a whole story, but can be read separately as well. The only thing I wanted to add to the discussion is the fact that Tarzan the Terrible is the ONLY novel in which the lost land of Pal-ul-don appears. This land was greatly expanded and mined to completion in the 1950's Dell Tarzan comics. So, if you were a fan of that old Dell Tarzan, at least Tarzan the Terrible deserves a reading. As mentioned by others, these two stories are filled with action and adventure and, I believe, would find a readership among kids today if only the books were carried by more book stores.
Two of the best Tarzan novels.......1999-10-14
These are two of the best Tarzan novels, filled with everything that Burroughs does best: action, mystery, romance, lost cities... TARZAN THE TERRIBLE is the direct sequel to TARZAN THE UNTAMED, and anyone who has read these books will want to get a copy of Philip Jose Farmer's THE DARK HEART OF TIME: A TARZAN NOVEL, which takes place chronologically in between these two amazing books.
2 GREAT ADVENTURE STORIES.......1999-09-01
These are two of the best books ERB wrote in the series. Although "Tarzan of the Apes" is the undisputed best novel of the series, quite possibly a literary masterpiece, these two have even more adventure, action, and clever plot twists than the original. I think "Tarzan the Terrible" is an overall better read, but the final few chapters of "Tarzan the Untamed", in Xuja, city of the mad, is my favorite part of the entire series. I enjoyed it better than Opar, Ashair, or any of the other lost cities ERB created. I wish he had set the entire novel there. If you're an adventure or Tarzan fan you can't miss these two stories. They're the 7th and 8th books in the series and still have aspects of Tarzan being fresh in his creator's mind. The latter books are all good, but they remind me alot of another series, my favorite, the Gor series by John Norman. The first books are outstanding, but the series begin to get repetitive as though the authors used up all their good ideas and are recycling them with different but similiar settings and characters and the storylines follow much of the same course as the previous ones. The only negative thing I can say about the Tarzan series, if indeed you even consider this negative, is that coincidence seems to play much too big of a role. Everyone in the story will somehow end up in the same place at the same time no matter what they've been through and where they've been. But I guess that's what helps make them enjoyable. It all works out. If you like the Tarzan series I recommend two other books by Edgar Rice Burroughs: "The Outlaw of Torn", a medieval tale and "I Am a Barbarian", a tale of the mad Roman emperor Caligula. I also recommend the Gor series by John Norman(the ones with Tarl Cabot in them anyway) and anything by Robert E. Howard.
The best in the series!.......1999-08-02
These two novels in my opinion were the best in all of the 22 book series. Tarzan goes from fighting germans to fighting prehistoric people and animals in a lost land. How does it get any better than that? And the Jane thing is cool! A must read for ultimate action/adventure readers.
Good to see these back in print!.......1997-06-19
These two stories are, in my humble opinion, the
two best works of ERB in the Tarzan series. Very
nice plot twists (as opposed to the rather contrived ones later on) and a great deal of background into the settings (example: the Ho-don
and Waz-don dialect dictionary in Tarzan the Terrible)make these two "must own" books.
If you're looking for a great way to while away
some time or, even better, find a good book for
a young reader - I urge you to strongly buy this
book!

Book Description
TARZAN AND THE GOLDEN LION
Betrayed, drugged into oblivion, and captured--thus came Tarzan to be a prisoner in the deepest dungeon of Opar, lost Atlantis city of gold. But even as the flames of treason engulfed La, Queen of Opar, she sacrificed all to rescue him. Followed by Tarzan's fierce golden lion, Jad-bal-ja, they escaped into the deadly Valley of the Palace of Diamonds, where cruel bejeweled gorillas hungered to destroy Queen La and Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle.
TARZAN AND THE ANT MEN
When his plane crashed deep inside the impassable Great Thorn Forest, Tarzan became the first man to set foot in the dark wilderness tainted with fearsome tales of ferocious female giants and armies of minuscule warriors. Ahead lay countless perils as Tarzan strove to outwit the ruthless she-brutes and strange ant men who doomed him forever to slavery. Against these invincible odds, it would take all Tarzan's power, savagery, and jungle cunning to carve his way to freedom.

Excellent little flip book!.......1999-07-08
A beautiful book for anyone who loved the movie's dynamic animation sequences. It has two sides both showing Tarzan gracefully flying through the trees using actual cells from the movie. It's really neat to flip through. It's like having part of the movie to take home.
