If you haven't already read Tikki Tikki Tembo, you've probably heard at least someone recite the deliriously long name of its protagonist: Tikki tikki tembo-no sa rembo-chari bari ruchi-pip peri pembo, by now a famous refrain in most nursery schools. In this beautiful edition--complete with line and wash illustrations by artist Blair Lent--Arlene Mosel retells an old Chinese folktale about how the people of China came to give their children short names after traditionally giving their "first and honored" sons grand, long names. Tikki tikki tembo (which means "the most wonderful thing in the whole wide world") and his brother Chang (which means "little or nothing") get into trouble with a well, are saved by the Old Man with the Ladder, and change history while they're at it. Tikki Tikki Tembo is a perfect book to read aloud, but don't be surprised if you find yourself joining the ranks of its chanting followers. (Picture book)
Product Description
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.

 A fun book to read July 18, 2010
K. C. Larsen (Pennsylvania)
I recently bought several books to read to my 5 year old granddaughter. This is an old chestnut and fun to read aloud. This is a soft cover book, which is well done and worth having on one's bookshelf.
GREAT SERVICE!! July 12, 2010

My 2 1/2 year old grandson loves this book. My children liked it when they were little, so I thought it would be a hit, and it was. It is perhaps a little disturbing that the mother gives the second born son a name that means "little" or "nothing", but when I read this to him, I skipped over the part that said it meant "nothing". My grandson was much more interested in the boys falling into the well and being rescued, as well as trying to say the long name, and wanting to act out the story in his sandbox. When reading it, I focused on how the brothers helped each other, and on the fun of saying Tikki Tikki Tembo's long name.

Wonderful Classic Picture Book. --- purchased for my granddaughter and it has become a must read two or three times a week. She has learned the extremely long name and I relish her enjoyment of reading and look forward to her remembering the wonderful times with her Nonna as together we read book after book. Add this to your collection of must reads with young children. Timeless.
