June 4, 2010, Newsletter Issue #245: The Jungle Book - Rudyard Kipling

Tip of the Week

Today, most people are more familiar with Mowgli from the Disney movie than from the original book, but "The Jungle Book" is worth giving to any child.  The book is a collection of stories, the best known of which feature Mowgli, the Man-Cub rescued from a tiger as an infant, and raised by wolves in the jungles of India.  The book also contains "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi," the story of a heroic mongoose, and "Toomai of the Elephants," the story of a young elephant handler.  The stories are fables that give moral lessons with a spoonful of sugar, and teach valuable lessons to children.
