Living among the wolves in the jungle, young man cub Mowgli quickly learns to live life among his wolf pack and all the animals that inhabit the jungle. But when the villainous tiger Shere Khan threatens Mowgli’s life, black panther Bagheera offers to take Mowgli to a nearby man village where he will be safe from the tiger’s wrath. Along the way, Mowgli gets tangled up in a series of encounters with a sly snake named Kaa, a ruthless orangutan named King Louie and a lazy bear named Baloo, who quickly becomes his guide to the ‘bear necessities’ of life. A major theme in the book is abandonment followed by fostering, as in the life of Mowgli, echoing Kipling’s own childhood.
