"e;Puffy and the Formidable Foe"e; is an easy-to-read book about a youngster who goes out to play, then leaves home, and learns what a mistake that is.
The tales in the book (and also those in The Second Jungle Book which followed in 1895, and which includes five further stories about Mowgli) are fables, using animals in an anthropomorphic manner to give moral lessons.
Insects is a whimsical rhyming tale about some thrill-seeking six legged critters, as they journey through houses, travel from city to country and even do a short stint in jail.
These tales of the man-cub, Mowgli, and fables of the clever creatures of the wild, like the mongoose Rikki-Tikki-Tavi, still brim with the adventure, camaraderie, and beloved characters that have endeared them to readers for more than 125 years.
