'The Jungle Book' is a wonderful classic tale about Mowgli as he grows from a child to man, and the lessons he learns about life on the way. There are some nice tales within the story to explain the ways of the jungle. Mowgli, by growing up with wolves and living among other animals, learns to live without the greed and hatred that often plague humankind. However, he cannot get away from the fact that he is human and needs to be with his own kind. ( )
