Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book is a point-and-click adaptation of the classical story The Jungle Book. This animated story book adventure features the Paintbox Pals - Sally, Jazz, Winston, and Nick - as it is a part of the Story Painting Adventure series which also includes the games Around the World in 80 Days and Peter Pan.

The player is presented with several situations and problems created by the story's antagonists or the environment. Help is always available thanks to the Paintbox Pals, the player's friends who watch over the story. The player can interact with the story's scenes via the Pals, which are four different animated artistic tools: a paint brush, a pencil, an eraser, and a paint sprayer. This results in solutions to the problems and features humorous dialogues and animations.
