I will review this article. It is about a very significant and influential novel and looks to be a promising candidate for GA. --Katolophyromai (talk) 16:27, 31 December 2017 (UTC)

Suggestions
I have a few suggestions that I would like to be addressed before I pass this article:
 * 1) The "Setting" section speaks as though all the stories are in India, but "The White Seal" is very self-evidently not set in India. You may want to clarify that the section is talking about  most of the stories, not all of them.
 * 2) Done.
 * 3) The plot summaries in the "Chapters" section are ambiguous and incomplete. They lack relevant details and do not describe the endings of the stories; it almost seems like the section is intentionally trying to avoid giving spoilers. If I had not read the book, I would be forced to guess at how the stories end. I would recommend adding a little bit more detail, as well as the endings of the stories. Obviously, we do not want to paraphrase the whole book play-by-play, but we can afford to tell more about its contents than a person can learn just by reading the dust jacket. I think that each story should probably have about a three or four sentence summary.
 * 4) Done.
 * 5) The caption for the postage stamp reads: "Heroes of the Soviet animation film on a postal stamp of Russia". I would recommend changing this to say "Heroes of the Soviet animation film on a Russian postage stamp" because "postal stamp of Russia" makes it sound like Russia is shown on the postage stamp as well.
 * 6) Done.
 * 7) The "Adaptations" section does not make any mention whatsoever of the 2016 live-action remake of Disney's original animated Jungle Book movie. I think that the live-action remake is surely worth at least listing alongside the others, especially since, according to our own article about it, it was the fifth-highest grossing film of 2016 and it won an Academy Award. I am sure there are plenty of sources about it available that you can use. --Katolophyromai (talk) 21:16, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
 * 8) Added.

Excellent work! I now feel comfortable passing this article. Congratulations. --Katolophyromai (talk) 14:32, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
