摘要
In this beautiful edition, Lambert Davis's lush, realistic paintings bring new life to Nobel Prize-winner Rudyard Kipling's beloved story of courage, honor, and friendship between a mongoose and a boy. "Kipling's language and sense of story are superior as they develop the theme of loyalty, and the illustrations, lush with greenery, impart a sense of place and time while remaining focused on the story."-- American Bookseller

Gr 2-4-- One of the most beloved of Kipling's tales, Rikki-Tikki-Tavi tells how a young mongoose outwits the deadly snakes that menace his new family. The epic narrative style accords near-heroic status to Rikki, and he is anthropomorphized enough to be lovable without falling prey to Disneyish cuteness. The humans see him as loyal, clever, fearless, and persistent; but readers will understand that his exploits result from his instincts and nature (and luck) as much as from his ``character.'' Davis's acrylic paintings, on every facing page, depict a suitable 1890s Indian bungalow setting. But the palette is heavy on boring tan, lime, and puce, and the perspective is sometimes awkward; Rikki seems to change size from page to page; and the stiff poses and smooth forms of humans and animals make them look more stuffed than alive. Sadly, this is a so-so edition of a ``Just So'' story. --Patricia Dooley, University of Washington, Seattle (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.

出版社周刊评论
With this newly illustrated edition of the treasured classic--written in the 1890s as part of the Jungle Books --readers can once again be captivated by the tale of a mongoose who is taken in by a family of British colonials living in India. Although a few Victorianisms in the text will need to be explained to young readers, the story has held up remarkably well over a century's time. Rikki's fight to defend his family from the menacing cobras Nag and Nagaina remains as suspenseful and emotive as ever. The creatures of the Indian garden come truly alive in Kipling's expert prose--the birds sing out messages of joy and warning; the cobra rears and spreads his sinister hood; the brave mongoose leaps and springs, victorious at last. In Davis's ( The Jolly Mon ; Trouble Dolls ) acrylic paintings, dominated by the greens of the garden and the browns of the earth, readers can clearly see the nut-colored mongoose, his adoptive family in their period dress and the slithering snakes. However, the artist's style and chosen medium produce a somewhat flat, torpid appearance. Razor-sharp writing with rather dull artistic accompaniment. Ages 6-up. (Sept.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC.

In a brief but useful note outlining Kipling's life, Davis tells readers that he did 'thorough research' for his illustrations, but the nearly neon palette Davis uses seems at odds with his stated desire to be honest to the era and setting of the tale. Davis is at his best when he depicts the mongoose and at his worst when depicting humans. However, the full-page illustrations on every other page will attract a younger audience to this classic Kipling adventure. From HORN BOOK 1997, (c) Copyright 2010.

Kirkus评论
Pinkney dwells on this story of Rikki-tikki-tavi, the sensible, brave mongoose adopted by an English family living in India. The animals speak to each other, so readers know how the little mongoose is aided by the tailorbird, Darzee, and and his wife in escaping death from the menacing cobras who hope to kill the human family and raise their 25 hatchlings in an empty house. Excitement and danger ebb and flow throughout the illustrations for this classic story. The people are drawn with less vitality than the creatures, yet the stances and concerns of the human parents echo those of the animals for their children. Exotic flora borders garden baths; a few details--an antique inkwell- -exemplify the period; yet the true strength of the large watercolors is in the framing of deadly fighting and impending attacks. Pinkney puts his heart into a story he loves, and makes it live again. (Picture book. 5-10)
《书目》(Booklist)书评
Gr. 3^-5, younger for reading aloud. In Kipling's classic story, the brave young mongoose, Rikki-tikki-tavi, proves his worth through his courage and audacity. Saved from near drowning and exposure by an English family living in India, Rikki-tikki repays their kindness with his brave actions. In the family's garden live the evil cobras Nag and Nagaina and a smaller but equally dangerous snake. Each of the snakes tries to bite the little English boy or his parents, but a formidable Rikki-tikki attacks and kills the snakes. Dramatic in content, sensitive in line, and rich with color, the illustrations in this picture book make full use of the broad, double-page spreads. Children who are not familiar with the story will be captivated; those who have had the story read to them before will find new things to shiver over. In an author's note, Pinkney explains how he came to illustrate the story, which had resonance for him as a child. A beautiful edition for reading aloud. --Carolyn Phelan
