Mowgli, a boy raised by wolves, navigates the dangers of the jungle under the guidance of Baloo the bear and Bagheera the panther. As he learns the Laws of the Jungle, he must outsmart the menacing tiger, Shere Khan, who seeks to destroy him. Alongside his animal friends, Mowgli embarks on thrilling adventures, including encounters with a snake-fighting mongoose and a mysterious elephant dance.

From the publisher
Rudyard Kipling’s beloved collection of short stories about a boy raised by wolves who learns the Laws of the Jungle. Mowgli, lost in the deep jungle as a child, is adopted into a family of wolves. Hunted by Shere Khan, the Bengal tiger, Mowgli is allowed to run with the wolf pack under the protection of Bagheera, the black panther, and Baloo, the brown bear who teaches wolf cubs the Laws of the Jungle.
