Two boys' review: A light introduction to Kipling,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Chuck Jones' Rikki-Tikki-Tavi (Hardcover)
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.

This is the story of the great war that Rikki-tikki-tavi fought single-handed, through the bath-rooms of the big bungalow in Segowlee cantonment...
Rikki tikki tavi is about a mongoose who gets washed away from his home. a little boy finds and keeps him. Rikki must battle Nag and Nagina [did I spell that wrong?]two cobras that want to kill the family to safely hatch their eggs so peoples enjoy the book and watch the movie too!

Brilliant Tale for Children and Adults,
By Douglas Setter (Vancouver, BC, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Chuck Jones' Rikki-Tikki-Tavi (Hardcover)
This is a brilliant animated version of Rudyard Kipling's classic tale. A mongoose (Rikki Tikki Tavi) is rescued by a British family living in India. Their kindness is quickly rewarded when Rikki proves to be a protective pet and ruthless killer of poisonous snakes. When a couple of cobras moves in nearby, Rikki must use all of his cunning and skill to rid the area of the two deadly enemies. Orson Wells makes a great narrator in this great classic. Not recommended for very young children.
