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.
