Summary : Mowgli was man-cub who was grown up by wolves. He had 2 teachers, Baloo who was very smart bear and Bagheera who was strong panther. He was learned many things such as master words for birds, master words for snakes, and how to live in jungle. However, he had an enemy, Shere Khan who was old tiger and tried to eat Mowgli when he was baby. He was still wanted kill Mowgli and he tried to be a wolves' king. How could Mowgli defeat Shere Khan? and would he be back to man's place? or stayed in jungle?

Personal response : I like it. I knew this book's name because of Disney's movie, but I haven't watched that movie. I thought Mowgli would be "human", but he wouldn't. It was like Tarzan from Disney's movie... Anyway I was curious about animals' language, how did Mowgli talk to animals? And why could he talk to human? It was strange...
