 Wonderful!, 2008-10-07
An adaption of Rudyard Kipling's tale. Rikki-Tikki-Tavi is a mongoose found out in the rain by a small boy named Teddy. The family brings him inside and quickly makes a pet of him, though the parents argue over Rikki-Tikki-Tavi's ability to protect Teddy. This leads to all the chaos one could hope for. The story is a bit violent, what with all the killing, but I think older readers would actually enjoy the excitement and action--I did! Rikki-Tikki-Tavi is a rather unique hero: a mongoose that wants to protect his family but in all honesty would rather be playing. He's very likeable, and so are the other characters. If nothing else, this is a great introduction to classic authors like Rudyard Kipling. There are a lot of words on each page, so it's not really a two-minute read for young children. But again, I think this book would be better appreciated by older readers who have time to tackle the long pages. It'd also be a blast for a read-aloud.

Two boys' review: A light introduction to Kipling, 2008-07-26
This is a book version of the Chuck Jones cartoon that aired on CBS in 1975. I recommend you buy the DVD and the book together, so that little kids can hear the characters' voices.
Don't let the other reviewers dissuade you from buying this book because it is an edited version of The Jungle Book. I have a five-year old and a four-year old and they enjoy this shorter version. I'll introduce them to the original book in a couple of years.

Riki Tiki Tavi, 2008-07-04
I was happy to find this book out there. I have fond memories of reading it many years ago in school. I still think it is a great story.

Good story, 2008-01-13
I bought this book for my son because I loved the movie as a kid. I guess this is the movie (or condensed) version of the story, because it lacks some development and detail. My 6 year old still enjoyed it, though. I need to find the original book and/or the movie itself instead.

I liked Rikki Tikki Tavi it was a really good book. There were lots of exciting and unexpected things happening. I liked the characters - my favourite was Rikki Tikki. It was interesting to learn about the mongoose.
