The Second Jungle Book
The Jungle Books, Book 2

A continuation of The Jungle Book, these further adventures of Mowgli the mancub and his animal companions are sure to delight listeners of all ages. Vibrant and crackling with intensity, these stories present Akela the wolf; Baloo the brown bear; Shere Khan, the boastful Bengal tiger who is Mowglis enemy; Kaa the python; Bagheera the black panther; and Rikkitikkitavi the mongoose, among others. Kipling vividly describes the jungle world and its peculiar animals, richly evoking an Edenic environment. As Mowgli learns the Law of the Jungle among the animals, he matures into selfsufficiency and wisdom.
