 Concern about environment and
encourage the readers to appreciate
nature.
 Kipling shows us how nature lives; how
the animals live together and highlights
how man's behaviour is different from
that of the animals.
 Jungle Book tales are innocent, lively
stories filled with talking animals, averted
dangers, and moral values.
 Kipling shows how Mowgli, Toomai, and
various animals confront danger, learn to
overcome it, and in the process become
aware of the diversity and meaning of life.
 The central characters, whether they be human
or animal, learn much about the evil of the jungle
and of human beings, but they also learn about
goodness and develop their own values.
 Touch about responsibility -Kipling tells us that
even the biggest, most powerful predator has
some responsibility to the other animals and the
well-being of the community.  
RECOMMENDATIONS
 Ask students to imagine if they have to live with
wild animals in the jungle.Discuss about their
feelings and opinions before introduce the story
 Use pictures / movies and songs that related to
the Jungle Book to attract the students.
 Ask students to do a role-play. Students need to
move / react / sound like the characters.
