Rikki Tikki Tavi

Here is the thrilling story of Rikki, fearless young mongoose who develops a very special bond with a boy named Teddy.

A flood sweeps Rikki into the garden of an English family’s house in India. Soon he finds himself in a life-and-death struggle with Nag and Nagaina, the two enormous cobras who stalk the land. The cobras are willing to attach Rikki, and even Teddy and his parents, to claim the garden for themselves, but they don’t count on the heart and pride of the brave little mongoose.

Taken from Rudyard Kipling’s timeless masterpiece The Jungle Book, this unforgettable story has been passed lovingly from one generation of readers to the next. Now triumphantly brought to life in stunning watercolors from Caldecott Honor artist Jerry Pinkney, Rikki will capture the hearts of young and old alike.
