Summary:
Tikki Tikki Tembo Retold by Arlene Mosel is a traditional tale about a little boy, Tikki tikki tembo-no sa rembo-chari bari ruchi-pip peri pembo who fell in a well. Having such a long name turns out to be very problematic for the little boy. He is eventually pulled out of the well by an old man with a ladder but it is too late. After the incident people decide that from now on Chinese children would only be given short names, thus changing history forever.
Evaluation:
This book is a great book. Saying the name Tikki tikki tembo-no sa rembo-chari bari ruchi-pip peri pembo is fun for both the reader and the child alike. The illustrations, repetition and moral lesson are great for young children. I loved to read this as a child and now my children love to have it read to them.
