Tikki tikki tembo-no sa rembo-
chari bari ruchi-pip peri pembo!
Three decades and more than one million copies later children still love hearing about the boy with the long name who fell down the well. Arlene Mosel and Blair Lent's classic re-creation of an ancient Chinese folktale has hooked legions of children, teachers, and parents, who return, generation after generation, to learn about the danger of having such an honorable name as Tikki tikki tembo-no sa rembo-chari bari ruchi-pip peri pembo.
Tikki Tikki Tembo is the winner of the 1968 Boston Globe - Horn Book Award for Picture Books.
Narrated by Marcia Gay Harden
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this folktale, help is slow in coming when a Chinese boy falls into a well, since the boy's long and difficult name must be pronounced in full. Beautifully expressive drawings enhance the book's Oriental feel. Ages 4-7.
Customer Reviews
As amazing as I remember it from my childhood
This book was my absolute favorite when I was little and I still remembered his entire name and I am 40 now. My daughter wanted to know where I got that from and so I bought the book and read it to her. It was as magical as it was when I was a kid and she is now trying to memorize the name as I did when I was a child.
