  Father Wolf - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Father Wolf is a fictional wolf character in Rudyard Kipling's Mowgli stories in The Jungle Book and The Second Jungle Book.
In the first story, "Mowgli's Brothers", Father Wolf investigates a noise outside the cave den where his mate Raksha (Mother Wolf) is suckling her cubs.
In the books, his personal name is never given; Rama is instead the name of a buffalo in the human village that Mowgli briefly joins.

Night-Song in the Jungle It was seven o'clock of a very warm evening in the Seeonee hills when Father Wolf woke up from his day's rest, scratched himself, yawned, and spread out his paws one after the other to get rid of the sleepy feeling in their tips.
Sometimes he could see for miles and miles across the still green jungle, as a man on the top of a mast can see for miles across the sea, and then the branches and leaves would lash him across the face, and he and his two guards would be almost down to earth again.
In the jungle he knew he was weak compared with the beasts, but in the village people said that he was as strong as a bull.

 Jungle Books, The - Rudyard Kipling - Review - The life of a "frog"* and other stories.
In fact, The Jungle Book is not just one story, but a collection of short stories and poems, all of which focus on the animal world.
This is not a long book, and is in fact only 159 pages long, and therefore ideal for a shorter read, especially with the fact that each story can be read in less than half an hour.
This book is available from Amazon in the paperback format for 1.50 (plus delivery), but you may be able to find it for even less if you hunt around, and it's definitely worth the money.

In this book, there are men in business suits brushing up against drowsy cows in the midst of the busy streets of Calcutta, bullock carts and modern trains, ancient temples and practices, factories belching pollution and people hand picking produce in fields so vast that they suggest a lifetime of relentless labor.
Not only is this book based on a true story of the 1970's where the women and girls of the village hugged the trees around their village to prevented loggers from cutting them down, but it can also be a springboard for discussions about the environment and the power of ordinary citizens.
This book might have been written to illustrate the profundity of that remark, as tiny Swaminathan, so profoundly imagined that we leave the book understanding (and loving) him, enables us to feel a deep tenderness not only for him but for all children (including ourselves).
