The Jungle Book from 1894 is a collection of Rudyard Kipling's stories that give moral lessons through the personification of animals. The most famous of the stories are the three detailing the adventures of Mowgli, the abandoned "man cub" who is raised by wolves in the Indian jungle. Also well-known is the tale of a heroic mongoose Rikki-Tikki-Tavi, and the story of a young elephant handler in Toomai of the Elephants. Due to its moral flavor, The Jungle Book was used by the junior section of the Scouting movement, the Cub Scouts.

A charming book of fabels starring all kinds of animals from India. The poems appealed more to me than the short stories. ( )

I'm giving this two stars, instead of one, because I know for a fact I loved the story of Rikki Tikki Tavi as a child.
However, as an adult, reading this was soooo painful. It's an older book and just the language being used and the way the words and sentences were put together. I couldn't enjoy it at all. It took me forever to get through it and I only did so I could be ready for book club on Saturday. And, it's only like 250 pages long!! uggggh ( )

Tells the story of friendship between man and beast. Saved from the jaws of the evil tiger Shere Khan, young Mowgli is adopted by a wolf pack and taught the law of the jungle by lovable old Baloo the bear and Bhageera the panther.

3.5* rounded up due to the marvelous illustrations.

I thought I had read this before but only the parts about Mowgli and Rikki-Tikki-Tavi were familiar so I am glad that I decided to reread this book. ( )

Epigraph
Dedication
This edition, with its illustrations, is dedicated to the illustrator's granddaughter.
For Abigail
First words
Now Rann the Kite brings home the night
    That Mang the Bat sets free –
The herds are shut in byre and hut
    For loosed till dawn are we.
This is the hour of pride and power,
    Talon and tush and claw.
Oh, hear the call! – Good hunting all
    That keep the Jungle Law!
