Summary of The Jungle Book
By: Emily S. and Lisa S.

Mowgli's Brothers
The story starts out with a wolf pack that follows the Law of the Jungle. They hear news of
how Shere Khan, the lame tiger, is hunting humans, which is against the Law of the Jungle
because humans are defenseless. An Indian boy just learning to walk comes to the wolf
family. Lovingly, the wolves take him into their den naming him Mowgli- the Frog. Shere
Khan comes to the wolf den demanding the man-cub. The mother wolfs viciousness in
protecting her family is the only thing that can scare him away. Although many wolves do
not believe that a man-cub belongs in a wolf pack, Mowgli is accepted because of the word
of Baloo the bear and a promise for meat from Bagheera the black panther. Mowgli grows
up. At around the age of ten, Shere Khan starts gaining power again, vowing to kill Mowgli
once the current wolf leader Akela falls. Once Akela misses his catch, Mowgli knows that
Shere Khan will try to take control of the pack. So he rushes off to mans village and takes
fire, the only thing that scares Shere Khan. Using the fire, he is able to defeat the tiger and
save Akela. Mowgli continues to live with the wolves until he grows up and gets married.
Kaas Hunting
Before Mowgli fights Shere Khan, he lived happily in the jungle, learning the Law of the
Jungle from Baloo the bear. Baloo teaches him how to talk to all of the animals of the
jungle. Although Mowgli does not like his lessons at times, knowing this is vital to his
survival. During one lesson, Baloo hits Mowgli because Mowgli doesnt want to listen.
Mowgli runs off, and Bagheera the panther comes. He scolds Baloo for hitting Mowgli.
When Mowgli returns, Baloo finds out that Mowgli was with the Monkey people or Bandarlog. The Bandar-log are the more despicable people because they live without law. Baloo
tells Mowgli to never go near them again. While napping, the Bandar-log kidnap Mowgli
and take him to a deserted Indian town. Baloo and Bagheera are really worried. They know
the only animal the Bandar-log fear is Kaa, the snake. Baloo and Bagheera recruit his help to
rescue Mowgli even though he is evil himself. With the help of Kaa, they are able to rescue
Mowgli. But Baloo and Bagheera vow to never ask for Kaas help again due to his trickery.
Tiger, Tiger
After fighting Shere Khan, Mowgli goes to live in a man village. A widow takes him in, and
he grows accustomed to their way of life. He still enjoys seeing his wolf brothers. While out
herding one day, one of his wolf brother comes to warn him that Shere Khan is gaining
power and plans to kill him. A little while later, the wolf comes again and tells Mowgli that
Shere Khan plans to kill him that day. Clever Mowgli devises a plan and uses the herd to
stomp and kill Shere Khan. The towns people do not acknowledge his accomplishment,
scolding him for the carelessness with the herd. They see him talking to his brother wolf
and think hes a bewitched, not letting him back in the town. Mowgli goes back and lives
with his brothers until he is grown up.
"The White Seal"
Novastoshnah is a small place on the island of St. Paul, far away in the Bering Sea, where
Sea Catch and his wife Matkah live along with their white baby Kotick. As Kotick grows up,
he struggles to separate himself from his mother, but when he finally gets up the courage, he
leaves to go off exploring. Along his swim, Kotick comes upon several islands that are
covered in seal carcasses, due to the destruction of the seal hunters. Upset with his findings,
Kotick decides to devote his time and energy to finding safe habitats for seals to live in, to
stop the mass killings.
"Rikki-Tikki-Tavi"
Rikki-Tikki-Tavi is a mongoose who lives in the garden of a very nice family. The garden is
also inhabited by Darzee the tailor-bird and his wife, and Nag the cobra snake and his wife
Nagaina. When Nag and Nagaina become jealous of the attention that Rikki-Tikki-Tavi is
getting, they become quiet desperate and make several attempts to kill him and his beloved
family.
Toomai of the Elephants

Little Toomai lives within the Indian forest with his father Big Toomai, who is the driver of
the great elephant Kala Nag. Kala Nag, which means Black Snake is one of the most
successful elephants to have ever served in the Indian government. When Kala Nag hears
the wild call of an elephant far off in the jungle, he immediately runs off to find the other
elephants, taking Little Toomai with him in his trunk for an adventure he will never forget.
"Her Majestys Servants"
or "Servants of the Queen"

All the animals of the land had gathered in Rawalpindi to be evaluated by Viceroy of India,
who had brought the wild king, Amir of Afghanistan with him. All of the elephants, mules,
bullocks, camels and horses must spend their time in camp waiting to have the Viceroy, as
they spend their time becoming friends with one another and learning about adventures that
each one has had.
