The Jungle Book

A boy raised by wolves in the jungles of India must learn the law of the pack, outwit a vengeful tiger, and find his place between the animal world and the human one. Mowgli’s story is only the beginning: the collection weaves together seven tales of cunning, loyalty, and survival among the creatures of the wild.

First published in 1894, Rudyard Kipling’s beloved collection ranges from the dense jungles where Mowgli is mentored by Baloo the bear and Bagheera the panther, to the cold waters where a brave white seal searches for safety, to the dusty roads where a loyal mongoose defends a family from cobras. Each story is paired with a verse, and each carries its own moral weight, exploring what it means to belong, to follow the rules of a community, and to stand alone when those rules demand it.

A cornerstone of children’s literature that has captivated readers of every age for well over a century.
