The Jungle Book


Title: The Jungle Book
Author: Rudyard Kipling
Rating: ★★★★★
Ages: 8 - 14

    "The Tiger's roar filled the cave with thunder. Mother Wolf shook herself clear of the cubs and sprang forward, her eyes, like two green moons in the darkness, facing the blazing eyes of Shere Khan. 'The man's cub is mine. . . . He shall live to run with the Pack and to hunt with the Pack; and in the end, look you, hunter of little naked cubs, he shall hunt thee.'"

    When Mowgli the young Man-cub wanders into the jungle one day, he is adopted by the wolf pack. With help from Baloo the Bear and Bagheera the Black Panther, they teach him the laws of the jungle. Mowgli's fearless adventures are featured in the enduring stories and poems of The Jungle Book, along with tales of many other favorite characters, such as the mongoose Rikki-Tikki-Tavi and Toomai of the Elephants.
