Rikki-Tikki-Tavi (Abridged) Audiobook

" It is a shame that Kipling is not more widely read by boys today. Rikki-Tikki-Tavi gripped my son with its heroic mongoose "

" This illustrator presented at the BYU symposium. "

" Brings back memories of childhood holidays in small towns of East India. I used to really look under the bushes and hedges to search for Riki and other friends. "

" Saw the Chuck Jones animated version (from way back when) earlier today, found the original story online to read and compare. The Orson Welles narration in the cartoon is in some cases verbatim from the book, it turns out. Neat. "

" Haha Reminds me of the old timess =] "

" this book taught me what a veranda is. I hope to own one. "

" I read and loved this book as a kid, but haven't read it since and remembered practically nothing about it. It's quite cute and a quick and easy read for children everywhere. "

" I remember this story from when I was a kid. I didn't remember it quite the way this was written, but that could be because it was from a show not a book. I love the spirit and courage of Rikki-Tikki-Tavi. "

" i thought it was great i saw the cartoon movie and i was cheering for the snake nag an his wife it was said the all there babies die and that they both die the reason i have the date to 10/11//11 is becuz that's the day we finished it in school "

" I think this would be a good bed time story for a child. It's really intersesting and a good time to read. "

" One of my favorite children's books of all time "

" Have loved this book since 3rd grade! "

" I loved this book as a child! "

" Rudyard Kipling rocks. I love the way he tells a story and Rikki Tikki Tavi has exotic India as the backdrop, what's not to love. "

" My absolute favourite children's book! "

" I found this book in Stratford, Ontario and brought it home as a present for my then 5-year-old son. It has been a favorite read-aloud book ever since. This is an "adaptation," which I take to mean abridged, but the illustrations are so beautiful and vibrant they make the story come alive. "

" Awsome story for grade schoolers "

" One of my favorite Kipling tales. It's more adventurous and not as dry as some of the other Jungle Book stories. "

" Suspenseful story about a mongoose and how he manages to kill 3 snakes, save an entire family and his animal friends in the garden. I absolutely loved this book and even read it to my 3rd grades whom sat on the edge of their seats the entire time. "

" Oh my goodness, I can't believe I forgot this fabulous book. "

" I wish I had a nickel for every time I had to read this aloud to my son. "

" I liked this story of the brave mongoose Rikki-Tikki-Tavi that saves the lives of the family he lives with. He protects them from the cobras. Pinkney did a great job illustrating this story by Rudyard Kipling. "

" Far less well known than "The Jungle Book", but in my opinion, it is a much better story. "

" A wonderful classic about the brave character of a reluctant hero--even if that hero happens to be a mongoose. "

" Also one of the 3 best stories ever (The Most Dangerous Game and The Bible are the others). "

" I used to love this book about a mongoose when I was really little. "

" Read this book as a child - and I still remember it. Cool story. "

" I think I like this one because of the name as much as the story of mongoose vs cobra, protection and family, and Kipling's writing style. "

" This story unnerved me when I first read it. But after seeing the cartoon made of it? Oh my word! Scary!!! For a time I think I wanted to own a mongoose just so I could feel safe again. "

" Reading this one with the kiddo "

" Was very exciting to find this book. I remembered it from my childhood. It was a nice story involving a mongoose and his people family. "

" This was an excellent book about a mongoose and his battle against the snakes who are invading the garden. I was completely intrigued the entire time despite it's length. "

" I hate this so much. I swear, I was about ready to throw my computer against a wall on like the third page or so. It annoyed me to death. "

" Suspenseful story about a mongoose and how he manages to kill 3 snakes, save an entire family and his animal friends in the garden. I absolutely loved this book and even read it to my 3rd grades whom sat on the edge of their seats the entire time. "

" fine...but i had to write all these responses to it for school. "

" One f***king horrible book. I read it in lit. Class.A book ment for baby's or stupid idiots. I hated the damn thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!¡¡¡! "

" My absolute favourite children's book! "

" Read this book as a child - and I still remember it. Cool story. "

" Okay, I really loved this story as a kid...but the one I read didn't have these illustrations. So the story itself deserves 5 stars, but for the pitiful illustrations in this particular book, I had to knock that rating down a bit. "

" Another favorite of boys and girls that deals with courage. Really worth having. "

" I absolutely love this story, which is a part of The Jungle Book by Kipling. This version is still pretty good. The pictures were helpful for my kids so they could see what a mongoose and a cobra and other animals looked like. "
