A little about the story
Mowgli's encounters with the animals of the jungle share the collection with stories that follow other creatures and places.
The shifts away from Mowgli make the collection feel larger than one childhood adventure. Kipling gives different creatures problems shaped by their own social rules, dangers and practical knowledge.
