Not just Mowgli and his jungle friends, much more

A classic telling various stories primarily set in India, but going to other locales on occasion, it isn't an adventure in the traditional sense, but evokes a similar mindset of seeking out the dangers that lurk in nature, even incorporating yourself as Mowgli does. And while Mowgli's story dominates the general structure, you also get side stories unrelated to that about other animals making their way in the world and overcoming some challenge, such as Rikki Tikki Tavi or The White Seal. Not only good as a bridge to longer books that have an overarching story because they're more short stories, but also an introduction to Kipling's style that incorporates poetry/song as needed.
