The Jungle Book & Second Jungle Book

The Jungle Book & Second Jungle Book

The Jungle Book follows Mowgli, a human child raised by a pack of wolves. It delves into the conflict between Mowgli and Shere Khan, the tiger responsible for Mowgli's parents' death, and explores the bond between the boy and Bagheera, the black panther, as well as Baloo, the dozy brown bear, who educates Mowgli in the Jungle's code. The Second Jungle Book comprises some of the most gripping tales centered around Mowgli. Among these stories are "Red Dog," where Mowgli forms an improbable partnership with the python Kaa, "How Fear Came," "Letting in the Jungle," and "The Spring Running," which marks Mowgli's transition into adulthood and his realization that he must depart from Bagheera, Baloo, and his other companions to integrate into the human world.
