Le Livre de la Jungle est un recueil de nouvelles dont chacune raconte une histoire qui se passe dans la jungle, forêt de l'Inde où vivent des animaux sauvages typiques du pays, ainsi que des hommes. Les nouvelles se succèdent dans un ordre qui n'est pas nécessairement chronologique, et permettent de découvrir par différents côtés la destinée de Mowgli petit d'homme, son éducation, la vie sociale du monde des animaux, et les lois de la Jungle auxquelles tous sont soumis, les hommes aussi. Les histoires ne se déroulent pas toutes dans la jungle indienne (ainsi, l'histoire des phoques se déroule en Alaska et mentionne les lois de la plage) et ne font pas toutes intervenir Mowgli.À la fin de chaque nouvelle, un court chant en vers, en rapport avec cette dernière, offre un pendant poétique. Par exemple, le Chant de Mowgli à la suite de Au tigre ! au tigre !, le Chant de Darzee à la suite de Rikki-Tikki-Tavi, etc.
