Tikki Tikki Tembo


Traditional Literature


This Chinese folktale is about a boy with a very honorable, but very long and confusing name.  With this great honor of a name comes danger as he constantly falls down a well.  His name is so lengthy, it takes such a long time for his brother to explain to his mother what has happened.  The fun and rhythmic style of this book is great for children, parents, and teachers of all ages!

  1. This seems like a silly book. The art reflects the the theme of the book being a folktale.
