I'll start with the good:Tikki Tikki Tembo is a lovely, amusing, engagingly repetitive, rhythmic story with detailed, oddly charming illustrations:I'm not a child anymore, but I just LOVE repeating the name of the main character: Tikki tikki tembo-no sa rembo-chari bari ruchi-pip peri pembo. Haha!Also, for some reason it amused me to no end when the Old Man With the Ladder unceremoniously performed CPR on Tikki tikki tembo's younger brother Chang: He pumped the water out of him and pushed theBleah.Even though I liked it as a child, the racism (I am a first generation American and was tuned in to such things even when young) bothered me. Now it turns out that not only is it not really cute to poke fun at little Chinese customs, they didn't even have that custom and the names don't mean what the author says they did and the costumes are wrong. (I had my doubts that the title one meant "most wonderful..." even when I was young enough to be read to.Also there is that little annoyance
Wow! Remember this book from my childhood...brings back lots of good memories.
We really enjoyed this one as a family. My 5 yr old remembered when we were studying China and loved the pictures, especially of the one with the dragon. It was a little wordy to be less than a level 3, but as I read it, even the preschoolers seemed fascinated. It was probably the repetition of Tikki Tikki Tembo's name over and over again. I stumbled over it more than once, but it has a wonderful rhythm to it. (It'd be great for a drinking game - not with children of course.) :)Overall, a nice
Reviewed by Jaglvr for Kids @ TeensReadToo.comYou know you have a classic on your hands when your son sees the book you're showing him and goes, "I LOVE that book! We read it in library class!" So already, I had the battle half won when I told my two kids that I received the book and CD to review. As soon as we got in the car to drive to grandma's house, they asked me to put the CD in and leaned together in the back seat with the book open between them.MacMillan Audio has taken a classic that is
This is tale of young Tikki tikki tembo-no sa rembo-chari bari ruchi-pip peri pembo, who is the first born son, and his little brother called Chang! The long name means 'the most wonderful thing in the whole wide world' and his little brothers name means 'little or nothing'. I can imagine having a lot fun reading this with a class of lower KS1 children and possibly role playing Tikki Tikki Tembo falling down the well and Chang rushing, with his little legs, to tell Mother. I would need excellent
I used to LOVE this book as a child! The character's name brought such rhythm to the story, it was almost intoxicating to say. Children love to say the name! In a read aloud, let them insert his name, rather than reading it on your own. Let them be a part of the story! As many children's story share, the moral of this story is to listen when you are told something. Not listening to his mother wound little Chang at the bottom of a well! Not learning their lesson the first time, Tikki tikki
