Little Mowgli shows up in tatters at the jungle, found by a wolf pack. Raised by the pack, he is no ordinary boy; he can climb trees like a monkey and even outrun a tiger. Adopted by the wolf-pack, he slowly grows up away from the world of humans. Along the way he makes lifelong friends: Baloo the brown bear and Bagheera the wise panther who help him learn the laws of the jungle. But the jungle can be a dangerous place. Together the trio face unforeseen dangers and find themselves caught up in exciting adventures; until Mowgli finally comes face-to-face with Shere Khan, the tiger, and the Bandar-Log. Mowgli’s world is full of joy and thrills, with fascinating creatures and the enchanting forest; a transportive and enjoyable read for everyone!
