YOU\'LL LOVE \"THE JUNGLE BOOK!!!\"
It contains a collection of fables using animals in an anthropomorphic manner to
give moral lessons.
The verses of \"The Law of the Jungle,\" for example, lay down rules for the safety
of individuals, families and communities. Kipling put in them nearly everything he
knew or \"heard or dreamed about the Indian jungle.\" Other readers have
interpreted the work as allegories of the politics and society of the time. The best-
known of them are the three stories revolving around the adventures of an
abandoned \"man cub\" Mowgli who is raised by wolves in the Indian jungle. The
most famous of the other stories are probably \"Rikki-Tikki-Tavi,\" the story of a
heroic mongoose, and \"Toomai of the Elephants,\" the tale of a young elephant-
handler. Kotick, \"The White Seal\" seeking a haven for his people where they
would be safe from hunters, has been considered a metaphor for Zionism, then in
its beginning.
Because of its moral tone, \"The Jungle Book,\" came to be used as a motivational
book by the CUB SCOUTS, a junior element of the Scouting movement. This use
of the book was approved by Kipling after a direct petitionby Robert Baden-
Powell, founder of the Scouting movement. Akela, the head wolf in The Jungle
Book, has become a senior figure in the movement, the name being traditionally
adopted by the leader of each Cub Scout pack.
\"The Jungle Book\" was made into a DISNEY animated feature film in 1967. It was
the last movie to be produced by Walt Disney, who died during its production. It
was inspired by the stories about the feral child Mowgli from the book of the
same name by Rudyard Kipling. The movie still remains as one of Disney\'s most
popular. It contained a number of classic songs, including \"The Bare Necessities\"
and \"I Wan\'na Be Like You.\"
