Tikki tikki tembo-no sa rembo-
chari bari ruchi-pip peri pembo!

Three decades and more than one million copies later children still love hearing about the boy with the long name who fell down the well. Arlene Mosel and Blair Lent's classic re-creation of an ancient Chinese folktale has hooked legions of children, teachers, and parents, who return, generation after generation, to learn about the danger of having such an honorable name as Tikki tikki tembo-no sa rembo-chari bari ruchi-pip peri pembo.

Summary: Best childrens book I have ever read
Comment: Tikki Tikki Tembo was bought for my daughter (now 33) when she was 4 years old. I spent hours reading the story to her and we recited the name so many times that she still remembers the story.

The good news is she informed me that she is expecting her first child this summer and Tikki Tikki Tembo is the first book I have bought for the new baby.

Comment: I looked for this book after talking with a friend about our favorite books as kids. It arrived and is exactly the same as I remembered. Love it. Some things never change!

Summary: Fun Story!
Comment: 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.

Summary: it's the details
Comment: I recall this book fondly from my childhood and my four year old loves listening to me read it to him. He's a sucker for repeated phrases anyhow, but now as a mom to two boys (both with long names) I am reveling again in the wonderful details in the pictures- the shapes of the kites, the frog and fish in the well, the wonderful illustration of the dream the old man with the ladder is trying to recall as Chang tries to wake him up... and at least for my boys, it sets the tone of how two brothers play and look after each other. I just wish I could find my original record that went with my falling-apart old book so that my boys could experience it the way I did so many years ago.
