Savez-vous pourquoi l'éléphant a une trompe, la baleine ne mange que des petits poissons, le chameau porte une bosse sur son dos ou encore pourquoi le kangourou fait des bonds pour se déplacer ? Dans ses "Histoires comme ça", Rudyard Kipling, l'auteur du célèbre "Livre de la jungle", répond à ces questions en imaginant avec liberté et poésie l'origine du monde et de ses habitants.

Mowgli, le "petit homme", a hanté notre enfance. Il est sorti des pages du "Livre de la Jungle" pour nous prendre par la main et nous entraîner dans ses hautes terres de liberté. C'est grâce à lui que nous avons surpris les conversations, participé aux chasses, aux jeux, aux angoisses, aux farces, des singes, des loups, serpents, chacals... et de Rikki-tikki-tavi, la mangouste... et de Bagheera la belle panthère noire. Revenu chez lui, il est couronné roi des éléphants et épouse sa cousine Céleste.

La panthère Bagheera découvre dans la jungle un jeune enfant abandonné. Elle décide de le confier à une famille de loups qui l'élève comme un louveteau. Alors que Mowgli a dix ans, le tigre Shere Kahn approche du territoire des loups. Pour éviter à l'enfant une fin inévitable, les loups l'éloignent et décident de le confier aux hommes d'un village proche. C'est Bagheera qui le conduit. Pendant leur voyage, ils feront de nombreuses rencontres, parfois redoutables.
