The Jungle Book (Dover Children's Evergreen Classics)

Mowgli, the boy raised by wolves, has his days filled with danger, wonder, and excitement. He learns the ways of the jungle from the wise old bear, Baloo, and the great black panther, Bagheera. He is befriended by the faithful wolf, Gray Brother, and is carried off by the crafty Monkey-People - only to be rescued by the mighty python, Kaa. And through it all, Mowgli knows that he must someday face his sworn enemy - the ferocious man-hating tiger, Shere Khan.
