About this listen
Paradox exists in this paradise, but nowhere more forcefully than in the Bengal Tiger, Shere Khan. In the contest that must occur between Shere Khan and Mowgli, which will triumph: the human intelligence of Mowgli, or the deep, instinctive cunning of the wily striped cat?
Kipling, who was forced to learn the art of self-preservation at a foster home and boarding school, believed in following the "Law of the Jungle". Part silly, part serious, these delightful stories convey Kipling's message in a way that children and adults alike will appreciate time and time again.

Editor reviews
Inspired by Rudyard Kipling’s colonial childhood, The Jungle Book continues to capture the imaginations of young audiences with playful parables of humans and beasts living together in the Indian jungle. Kipling’s stories feature a colorful cast of anthropomorphic animals delivering lighthearted, but well-learned life lessons. Listeners will meet Rikki-Tikki-Tavi, a cute and courageous mongoose on a quest to defeat a couple of cruel cobras. Young listeners familiar with Disney’s adaptation will delight in the adventures of "man cub" Mowgli, raised among wolves. The hero of three short tales here, Mowgli’s saga continues where the animated film left off, as he attempts to re-integrate in human society. Performer Rebecca Burns’ spartan but fluid delivery opens up room for Kipling’s sonorous, sing-song stories shine through.
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
