Book Reviews of Tikki Tikki Tembo
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: What's His Name?
Summary: 5 Stars
Tiki Tiki Tembo
Arlene Mosel
The oldest son was named Tikki tikki tembo-no sa rembo-chari bari ruche-pip peri pembo, which means "the most wonderful thing in the whole wide world!"
The second son was named Chang.
When Tiki tiki tembo fell into the well, his poor brother had to run and get help. It took so long to run and get help, and even longer to say his brother's name.
This is a re-telling of a Chinese fable. My daughter brought this book home from a book sale when she was in elementary school; she read it so many times the book wore out. We got another copy of this book so I could read it to my grandchildren. Children love to say this boy's name. Every time we come to the name, a different child wants to say it. Soon, I find that the children can read the book to me.
Pick up a copy of Tikki Tikki Tembo, and watch the excitement on the children's faces.

What a delightful story.
A classic.

Book Review: childhood classic
Summary: 5 Stars
I remember this book from my childhood. So when I had a child of my own, I had to get it. It is rhythmically poetic and I give my daughter a drum when I read this to her so that she can tap along!Book Review: classic for kids
Summary: 5 Stars
When I asked my children (now grown) which book I should bring to a baby shower they all agreed that this one was memorable. The cover says it's sold a million copies and I believe it. To this day we all remember every syllable of that "great, long, name".
