Book Reviews of Tikki Tikki Tembo
Book Review: Childhood favorite
Summary: 5 Stars
I had this book as part of the Scholastic book orders as a child almost 30 years ago... It came with a record back then to read along, but I hope my children will learn to like it as much as I did. It has a great moral and it is fun to say Tikki TIkki Tembo's name.Book Review: Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
Great book... love to read to kids. They love to hear the lesson and still enjoy it each time we read it togetherBook Review: Classic? perhaps. Stereotypes? Bad.
Summary: 1 Stars
While this apparently has a catchy rhyme, that's no reason to promote a book that perpetuates harmful stereotypes.Book Review: From a mother to her son
Summary: 4 Stars
I remembered this being one of my favorite books to read as a child, and now my 21 month-old son always asks me to read it to him!! Reading it as adult, and as a parent, I was a little bothered by the second son, Chang's, name meaning "little or nothing" because I would never want ANY of my children to be referred to as "little or nothing". I don't know anything about Chinese culture or whether or not any of the traditions are even accurate, but when it comes down to it, it's just a book. Take it for what it is...a story, and try not to read too deeply into it, and this book is really enjoyable...especially when you get to say "Tikki Tikki Tembo-no sa rembo-chari bari ruchi-pip peri pembo".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.
