These classic tales of a boy growing up in the jungle are filled with adventure and excitement. Young Mowgli, the orphan-boy, wanders naked into the lair of a pack of wolves and is brought up by them. He learns the law of the jungle from his animal companions, in particular Baloo the bear and Bagheera the black panther. On the day that he kills the evil tiger, Shere Khan, however, Mowgli is no longer thought of as the 'little naked cub' but as a young man.
