This story takes all of maybe 20 minutes to read, so the review really isn't going to say a lot. Rikki-Tikki-Tavi is about a mongoose who is taken in by a small family in India, and the consequential conflict between the cobras in the garden and himself.

This story is obviously meant for young children, perhaps to be read by a parent to a young child. My rating reflects the opinion of a far younger me. The story is quirky, yet serious. It introduces new words into a child's language in a subtle way. Not only was it enjoyable, but it had strong educational merit.
