Reviews
...
This recording was among 29 recorded books recommended by the Association of Library Service to Children of the American Library Association in January 2000. The much-loved RIKKI-TIKKI-TAVI gains an added dimension with evocative music as well. Not only is the wide cast fully voiced with hissing cobras, squeaky tailorbirds and the sensible little mongoose, all in Indian and British accents, but music underlies every scene, whether for suspense, triumph or sorrow.

Booklist...
This well-made production is a delight for young viewers & might serve as an entry to other Kipling classics for older students as well.
School Library Journal...
“The sound effects and musical score enhance the telling of the story which is well narrated by the fine British actor Michael York. The story will capture the imagination of children.”
