Mix "Jungle Book" animation with real-life footage of animals and you've got a format that ideally blends entertainment and information for children 6 to 10. In each episode, animated Mowgli and his "Jungle Book" friends discuss one of their favorite topics: animals! They serve as the show's anchors and provide the wrap-around elements for the documentary footage of the animals featured in short, non-fiction parts. Each episode of the show has one main topic. All short documentary clips refer to this topic, such as a land, region or species; it can also be an overlapping theme like "jumpers:" Who jumps higher, a frog or a kangaroo?
