Long book for 3 year old
Story is very good. Forgot how detailed Runyard Kipling is. It’s a bit hard for a three year old to grasp. I had to break it down for her to stay interested. She is amazed by Mongooses right now.

Wonderful story for kids
Read this in grade school and never forgot the story of the brave little mongoose. Bought this for my grandson because we couldn't find it in any library or bookstore--what a shame! My grandson and I loved reading it together.

Unabridged hardback w gorgeous illustrations by Australian artist Robert Ingpen
Stand-alone, unabridged hardcover version of the cobra-mongoose story from Kipling’s jungle book. Gorgeous painted illustrations by Australian artist Robert Ingpen (he’s also illustrated Kipling’s Jungle Book and Just so stories books, available separately). A great introduction for little kids to Kipling’s works.
