Summary: The Jungle Book is considered to be a collection of stories. The adventurous tales follow a boy, Mowgli, who gets lost in the jungle when he is very young. A panther finds the little boy and a wolf raises Mowgli as one of the wolf pack’s own. As the boy or man-cub, as they refer to him, is looked after by the wolves, other animals help to teach Mowgli the laws of the jungle. While he is living as just another animal in the wilderness, Mowgli learns valuable lessons in survival and courage. He learns about respect for all living creatures and that man is the biggest threat to the jungle.
Mowgli grows to make friends with several animals, including Baloo, the bear, and Bagheera, the panther. As he goes about his life in the jungle, Mowgli must be wary of spreading fear from the tyrant tiger Shere Khan. The tiger only sees Mowgli as a human, not a man-cub the rest of the jungle accepts. Shere Khan torments Mowgli and even tries to coerce other animals to only see Mowgli as a man or a threat to the jungle. Mowgli soon realizes that he is human and not a wolf. However, Mowgli wants to protect the animals from Shere Khan. He must find a way to get Shere Khan to leave the mountain for good.
