I finally took a half hour and sat down and read this. Very quick and pretty much exactly like the television special I remembered from my childhood.

I read this short story by Rudyard Kipling out of nostalgia. I remember watching the film (on a reel) several times during my elementary years. The story and film mirror each other beautifully which is seldom seen in book to movie adaptations these days. Great story and appropriate for children elementary age and older. It would make for good conversation about animals and predator/prey relationships. Also, the study of other countries such as India where the story takes place.

The great war between eternal foes, Mongoose and Serpent. Much like his other Jungle Book tales, Kipling adroitly straddles the fine line between beast and man to deliver a marvelous rendition of nature underscoring its beauty as well as parallel brutality.

One of my favorite animated shorts, finally got around to reading it! I put this on, with a few others, to listen to while doing the dishes. I found a great YouTube video audiobook for this with an amazing narrator!

Rikki-Tikki-Tavi by Rudyard Kipling – This is an Amazon freebie and a classic. If your kid liked the Jungle Book, they will love this! Happy Reading!
