I think we were pleasantly surprised that we did actually enjoy this book although it went slightly downhill after the first three quarters. The language was a bit tough at times but we muddled through. Even the younger girls were able to pick out similarities and differences when compared to the movie.

This is an Easy Reader edition of a classic story. I suppose it works as a story but it's not a very exciting one. In fact, I think children are missing out on just how scary the cobra(s) are. Look elsewhere for Mongoose V. Cobra fights. All you get here is a race.
