Rudyard Kipling

A courageous mongoose thwarts the evil plans of Nag and Nagaina, two big black cobras who live in the garden. In this beautiful edition, Lambert Davis's lush, realistic paintings bring new life to Nobel Prize-winner Rudyard Kipling's beloved story of courage, honor, and friendship between a mongoose and a boy.

A collection of stories, drawn from the tales Kipling's Indian nurses told to him, in which Kipling creates the enchantment of the dawn of the world, when animals could talk and think like people. The laziness of the Camel, the curiosity of the Elephant Child, the cleverness of the hedgehog, the confusions of the Painted Jaguar and all the rest of Kipling's delightful menagerie come alive.

When hard-working animals complain to "the magic desert watcher" about camel's laziness, the watcher agrees to make things more fair.

A brief, simplified retelling of the episode in "The Jungle Book" during which Mowgli, a boy raised by wolves and other animals, learns that as long as he lives with his friends, they are threatened by Shere Khan and so decides to leave, accompanied by Bagheera and Baloo.
