This collection of stories features Mowgli, a young boy who lives
amongst the wildlife of the jungle. From being tracked and hunted by a
tiger to being raised by wolves and trained by a bear, this compilation

with his colorful animal friends and foes, including stories from The
Jungle Book and every other Mowgli story Kipling wrote:

Red Dog
The Spring Running
In the Rukh
For more than one hundred years, the stories from The Jungle Book have
enchanted readers, both young and old, with their important moral
lessons and engaging narratives. By anthropomorphizing the animal
characters in the stories--in a vein similar to Aesop--famed writer
Rudyard Kipling provides readers with parables that teach family and
community values while simultaneously entertaining and inspiring.
Consequently, these stories have stood the test of time, have been
published in a variety of editions and publications, and continue to be
reprinted today.
Including a new foreword by leading children's literature expert Michael
Patrick Hearn, Mowgli of the Jungle Book spotlights Kipling's
classic character as he's faced with an abundance of epic adventures and
challenges--all of which have underlying moral dilemmas sure to teach
readers what matters most.
