Rikki Tikki Tavi is about a young mongoose who has the courage to defend his new family from the deadly Cobras. I enjoyed this book because it has adventure and engages the reader with a suspenseful storyline. Due to the amount of text in the book I would suggest this book for grades 1-3.

My favorite of Kipling's works. Rikki is one of the cutest protagonists I have ever seen. The illustrations for this book are a phenomenal addition to a beautiful story. ( )

This was an audio book I enjoyed. I read this when I was in third grade with my class. 48 pages

This book is about a mongoose that washes upon a shore of a family that owns a garden full of animals. Some of the animals including bireds and vicious snakes. Rikki Tikki is not afraid of anything or any animal. He kills some of the most vicious snakes in the garden and protects his human family throughout the entire book. When some other snakes want revenge for killing their brothers, Rikki Tikki outsmarts the snakes and kills them as well. Rikki Tikki was a hero. ( )

One of my favorites from childhood. Still an outstanding short story. It is amazing how much information Kipling puts into the story. ( )
