Analysis: 

I like this story a lot because it shows a true meaning of family. A mongoose came to a human and needed help. I wouldn't know what to do. I also loved how he trusted the mongoose to protect him and he did. He risked his own life to save his friend that he just met.

This story had a lot of good things. This book is like the kind I like. It talks about family and people coming together as one. Rikki needed a home and Teddy gave one him. Then Teddy could’ve gotten hurt and Rikki saved him. I would like a friend that would do anything for me and I would do anything for them.

Overall this story was great. I watched the movie many times and I love it. The story line is cool because Rikki was basically an Orphan and would have to defend himself from predators if it wasn’t for Teddy. The snakes were very strong and it could only take heart to defeat them. Rikki did not know that he did until he had to fight for the people he loved. Although it was two on one and he was just a Mongoose, he did it! The story was amazing and I wouldn’t mind reading it again.
