Saved from the clutches of the tiger Shere Khan, a lost little boy named Mowgli is taken in by a family of wolves in the forest. As the human child grows up under the loving care of his wolf parents and brothers, he develops a special bond with Baloo the bear, Bagheera the panther, and Akela, the leader of his wolf-pack. Journey with Mowgli on his adventures and capers with the animals in the forest— both friendly and dangerous— as he fights to escape the evil tiger once again, while trying to reconcile his human roots with his wolf-upbringing! 1989 edition published by Dilithium Press, Ltd. 0517679027 1.1 pounds 2.52 x 5.87 x 8.07 inches 8-12 years old 3-7 grade level 303 pages
