Bookroo's summary

Mowgli, a boy raised by wolves, navigates the dangers of the jungle with guidance from Baloo and Bagheera. As some animals see him as a threat or prey, Mowgli must discover where he truly belongs. Will he find acceptance among the elephants, snakes, and monkeys, or is he destined to be an outsider forever? This retelling invites young readers to explore Mowgli's thrilling journey and the challenges of finding one's identity in a world that doesn't always welcome you.

From the publisher

Run with the jungle animals in this illustrated chapter-book retelling of The Jungle Book, part of the bestselling Classic Starts(R) series that has sold more than 8 million copies! Mowgli has lived among his wolf brothers for as long as he can remember. Baloo and Bagheera teach him the ways of the jungle, but some animals view him as a threat–or, even worse, as prey. Can Mowgli find a place where he truly belongs? This abridged retelling is the perfect way to introduce young readers to Mowgli’s life among elephants, giant snakes, and monkeys. The book also includes discussion questions.
