The Jungle Book

Rudyard Kipling

The wolf family saves a human baby from Shere Khan, the lame tiger. They decide to bring him up with their own cubs. The baby is named “Mowgli”, the little frog. Mowgli grows up amidst his friends – Baloo, the bear; Bagheera, the panther; and other animals of the jungle. He becomes one amongst them until he finds a village inhabited by humans like him! What happens to him? How does he survive after the wolf pack turns against him?
