Summary:
In "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi", a courageous mongoose becomes the loyal pet of a small boy, and protects him and his family from two evil cobras who live in their garden. Hiawatha's boyhood is gracefully brought to life against a background of authentic Native American music in this excerpt from Longfellow's classic poem. Based on the famous African American ballad "John Henry", this story tells of the legendary contest to the death, between a spirited man with a hammer and a steam drill, to build a tunnel through the mountains of West Virginia. "Noah's Ark" is the well-known biblical story that will help children learn about our responsibility to care for the living things on earth.
