Rikki Tikki Tavi, Darzi og Kukundra slås mod Nag og Nagaina.
En klassisk børnebog ( )

Everyone who reads this book would have to agree that Jerry Pinkney does a wonderful job of illustrating the well-known story of Rikki-Tkki-Tavi, written by Rudyard Kipling. The beautiful illustrations portray the characters of the humans and animals realistically. Pinkney makes the characters, such as Teddy and Rikki-tikki ,come alive as he paints their expressions and in turn, makes their feelings come to life. There are very many warm colors and enjoyable scenery painted in this book that many adults and children alike would love to look at. This book is a good story about loyalty and Pinkney illustrates that well. ( )

I know I read this story as a child, but it’s been a long time. Then, when we were at the bookstore this weekend, my son found this book and HAD to have it. It is a nicely illustrated version of the story – Rikki is VERY cute. And we’ve decided that if we ever live in India, we are definitely getting a pet mongoose. It does make me a bit sad to see the cobras villified this way (because we like snakes at least as much as we like mongooses – mongeese? – in general, but Nag and Nagaina are just mean). We read this at bedtime last night, and I have a feeling it will become one of the bedtime favourites. And YAY! I love stuff that I can read using different voices. Lots of fun.
