Book Reviews of Tikki Tikki Tembo
Book Review: Tiki tiki tembo no-sa rembo-chari bari ruchi-pip peri pembo. Love it!
Summary: 5 Stars
The story and illustrations will be with me forever. To the Author and Illustrator, thank you so very much. Thank you for bringing this book back. My book was lost in my travels and now I have another to share with my own child.
I have the most fondest memories of this book. Growing up in God's melting pot and having the opportunity to share this book with my child gives me the best memories as a junior leader entering HS. I read this to my charges one morning and after more then 30+ years, I haven't forgotten a word from this book. I now have the opportunity to share it with my child, I hope she will love it as much as I still do.
To all the parents out there; I recommend buying a book that takes you back to your time of innocence, to share with your child.
Just think, if we live only 80 years; we only get 80 springs, summers, falls and winters. In the grand scheme of things such as life, that is not much time we have on this planet. Make everyday count and teach your child how precious life really is. A gift that money can not buy, your fond memories as a child to pass on too them. Make new and wonderful memories with the children in your life. They are our future and we must teach them well.
I hope everyone enjoys this book as much as I did.

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.
If you haven't already read Tikki Tikki Tembo, you've probably heard at least someone recite the deliriously long name of its protagonist: Tikki tikki tembo-no sa rembo-chari bari ruchi-pip peri pembo, by now a famous refrain in most nursery schools. In this beautiful edition--complete with line and wash illustrations by artist Blair Lent--Arlene Mosel retells an old Chinese folktale about how the people of China came to give their children short names after traditionally giving their "first and honored" sons grand, long names. Tikki tikki tembo (which means "the most wonderful thing in the whole wide world") and his brother Chang (which means "little or nothing") get into trouble with a well, are saved by the Old Man with the Ladder, and change history while they're at it. Tikki Tikki Tembo is a perfect book to read aloud, but don't be surprised if you find yourself joining the ranks of its chanting followers. (Picture book)
