I actually first heart of this book on a Weston Woods video and I really enjoyed this story! Tikki Tikki Tembo is an old Chinese folktale retold by Arlene Mosel along with illustrations by Blair Lent and it is about how a young boy named Tikki tikki tembo-no sa rembo-chari bari ruche-pip peri pembo (what a name!) gets into big trouble because of his long name. Tikki Tikki Tembo is certainly a great book for children who are fans of Chinese folklore!I have always found this book extremelyWow! Remember this book from my childhood...brings back lots of good memories.
Tikki Tikki Tembo - what you get is a fun and simple children's tale. Lots of repitition. Children falling down a well which is always hilarious. The illustrations are nice too.However, it's as genuinely Chinese as the Chinese place in the food court. And I really don't think anyone is buying this for source material on Chinese culture. Then again, I am a white guy talking about ethnicity.Cute little story that my unborn baby liked, but I'll see if it withstands the test of time.

I have very mixed feelings on this book. I have very fond memories of this book from when I was a child.

It is supposed to be a traditional story about how Chinese names came to be so short. I loved this story as a kid.However, the truth is, as an adult I recognize it sounds a lot more Japanese than Chinese. Also the pictures are a lot more Japanese than
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
I love this story. I love the repetition. I love the rhythm of the repeated name. It's funny. But it doesn't feel at all Chinese. It feels condescending--those funny Asians with their nonsense language. When a teacher I taught with included this and several other stories "about China" in a unit on China, I had to squirm. I had just returned from living in China and wanted to give the kids a feeling for actaul Chinese folktalesTiki Tiki Tembo is probably based on a Japanese story in which the dad
Please note that I do realise Arlene Mosel's Tikki Tikki Tembo is a multiple award winner and considered a well-loved and enduring classic, and I can as an older (and educated) adult to a certain point also at least somewhat appreciate how her text can be a fun and engaging pourquoi type of folktale (adaptation) for young children (with Blair Bent's accompanying illustrations providing a delightful and at least to and for my untrained eyes realistic appearing mirror of both narrative and Chinese
