It became my favorite story, with the cadence of the narration and the wonderful animation bringing the story to life. I used to watch it every year, just like the Christmas specials and The Wizard of Oz. I've even seen it a few times as an adult, each time reliving a little piece of my childhood.When I saw this book recently, on a list of free books, I grabbed it up so I could carry this little piece around with me all the time. I was kind of afraid to actually read the story, because so often these days books and their movies don't have much in common. However, this is word for word the animated story I have enjoyed so many times; or should I say the animated film is just like the book. The language is lyrical, and there is a rhythm to the story that reinforces this quality. If I had a child, since they don't show the film any more, this would be a regular on the bedtime story list, and not just for the language. The themes of making the best of what happens to you in life, and of protecting your family, are woven throughout this story, as well as using common sense when planning anything you have to do. I'm going to grab The Jungle Book next! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Kipling for kids! *by E***T on April 26, 2020* Rikki Tikki Tavi is the story of a young lone warrior facing two experienced, ruthless killers in urban and subterranean combat. He and his adversaries wage an asymmetric campaign against each other, where our hero has to weigh the tactical necessities, ethics, gaining the support of the civilian population, and ensuring the safety of civilians as he engages a threat that would kill innocents to control key terrain.This isn't Mogadishu or Mumbai, this is a mongoose who is the guest of a human family protecting his humans from a pair of cobras. In the drains, bathrooms, and garden of humans who rescued him when he was a half-drowned kit, Rikki stalks and is stalked by Nag and Nagina as they prepare for their clutch of eggs to hatch. With the help a pair of tailor birds and a cowardly muskrat, Rikki defeats the cobras and protects his family.A heroic and inspiring tale suitable for every child, even if the parents are too effete to cope with a to-the-death fight against an enemy that threatens everything Rikki loves.Yes, I enjoyed it immensely, if that was not obvious.E. M. Van Court ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ An exciting tale, though perhaps a little scary. *by T***) on October 13, 2013* This classic tale, featured originally in The Jungle Book, tells of the brave battle of Rikki-Tikki the mongoose against the deadly cobras, Nag and Nagaina. Rikki-Tikki is swept away from his family by a flood and finds himself a most welcome guest of a human family.I remember reading this once in school, though I can't remember exactly when, and I was happy to come across it for free on Amazon. It's actually quite an exciting tale, though perhaps a little scary. The snakes, Nag and Nagaina, are sinister and plot the death of the entire family in the big house, hoping that Rikki-Tikki would then move on. But luckily their plot is discovered, and the mongoose defends his adoptive family with every fiber of his being.The characters are varied and are each entertaining in their own right. I love the idiotic Tailorbird, Danzee. He weeps, sings, and celebrates in turn, without any regard to consequence, mostly because of his short attention span. The little fearful musk-rat, who runs along the walls, but never to the center of the room, is also amusing. His role as informant is important to winning the battle, but mostly because he's afraid he'll be mistaken for the mongoose.But mostly, I love Rikki-Tikki himself. Too curious to be afraid and fiercely protective of the young family and the creatures of the yard, he is an admirable hero. Brave and funny, and believable, too. When he's not busy saving the day, he scampers around on the breakfast table, perches on the little boy's shoulder, and otherwise endears himself to both the family and the reader.I also like the poem at the beginning and Danzee's song at the end, cut short because Danzee himself was interupted in the singing by Rikki-Tikki.Overall, a short, but powerful story of triumph, bravery, and danger. I recommend this one to anyone who likes rooting for the underdog and those who enjoy animal characters. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/8192303-rikki-tikki-tavi-a-picture-book-about-a-brave-mongoose](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/8192303-rikki-tikki-tavi-a-picture-book-about-a-brave-mongoose) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-05-24*
