Floodwaters wash a little mongoose into Teddy's garden, and after drying him off and giving him something to eat they become great friends. The mongoose, Rikki-Tikki, is very curious and goes exploring around the house and garden. He soon comes face to face with Nag and Nagaina, two giant cobras, who want to kill Rikki-Tikki and Teddy's family so they can claim the garden and house for themselves. Rikki-Tikki's loyalty to his new family gives him great courage to face these two menaces. This story was originally written by Rudyard Kipling and was adapted and illustrated by Jerry Pinkey. The whimsical, watercolor illustrations are a great companion to the text. Pb, 46 pgs. - elise

Description
Publisher's Description of Rikki-Tikki-Tavi
"A beautiful edition for reading aloud," proclaimed Booklist. "Excitement and danger ebb and flow throughout," added Kirkus.
Soon after a flood washes Rikki into the garden of a family, he comes face-to-face with Nag and Nagaina, two giant cobras. The snakes are willing to attack Rikki, and even the human family who lives there, to claim the garden and house for themselves. But they do not count on the heart and pride of the brave little mongoose.

He was recognized with two lifetime achievement awards: the Laura Ingalls Wilder Award (now known as the Children’s Literature Legacy Award) and the Coretta Scott King Virginia Hamilton Award.
