Book Reviews of Tikki Tikki Tembo
Book Review: terrible story
Summary: 1 Stars
I took this book out of the library because I had read it is a children's classic. Thank goodness I read it first before I read it to my 3 year old son. The story is just awful focusing on the importance of the firstborn son and discrediting the younger boy. I was appalled that such a revered book included both children having near drowning episodes and CPR! I would not recommend this to anyone as I think the moral of the story is so negative and debilitating to children.Book Review: A classic!
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this story as a kid and I love reading it to my five year old daughter, adopted from China. It is great for reading aloud and it keeps kids' attention. Although the mother shows favoritism in this story, there are always issues of unfairness in life and stories help us to talk about these things. Unfortunately, favoritism of children in China was a very real issue and may still be the case. The story makes me imagine a very realistic village in ancient China.Book Review: Tikki Tikki Tembo
Summary: 4 Stars
Wonderful Classic Picture Book. --- purchased for my granddaughter and it has become a must read two or three times a week. She has learned the extremely long name and I relish her enjoyment of reading and look forward to her remembering the wonderful times with her Nonna as together we read book after book. Add this to your collection of must reads with young children. Timeless.Book Review: Tikki Tikki Tembo
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been reading this book to children for over 25 years. They love the story but their favorite part is to repeat Tikki Tikki Tembo's great long name each time it comes up. I have even had young adults seek me out to say "Remember when you read Tikki Tikki Tembo to us at McKinley School library?" I'd say that is high praise for this book!Book Review: Fun Story!
Summary: 5 Stars
I remember reading this story to my children and now purchased it for my grandchildren. We had a lot of fun reading the story and reciting Tikki Tikki Tembo's name. It brought back fond memories and the tradition of repeating this looooong name with much emphasis on each syllable will continue for another generation.
