"I remember watching the Disney version of this story when I was younger, so when I had to read this in a compilation of literature for school, I found old memories rushing to greet me. Right down to the dialogue and the narration by Rikki, I remembered everything. And it wasn't a bad thing, either. I loved the movie as a child, and loved the written story as a 16-year-old. The writing was wonderful; the story plot may be simple, but the overall message (at least for me) - protect what/who you love - was very sweet. Rikki protected the family who rescued him, and in turn found a forever home."

    " Rikki Tikki Tavi is a brave mongoose that got washed from his house in a flood. Rikki Tikki Tavi is a good story because it is about a brave mongoose that saves a family from two cobras. I think this book deserves 5 stars. Rikki meets darzee a local bird that is quiet shy and likes to sing. Rikki Tikki takes some dangerous chances in this book but i can't tell you you have to read the book for yourself "

    " I picked this book up largely because I have fond memories of the story from my childhood. Pleased to report that the 6-year-old really liked it and has made me read it a couple of times in spite of the fact that it is a long bedtime story. Girls might like it, I did, but I am always on the hunt for good books for boys and this definitely makes the list. "
