Book Review - Tikki Tikki Tembo
One of my very favorite books to read aloud to my kids is Tikki Tikki Tembo. I remember reading this book when I was a child. My kids love this book as much as I do and request it be read to them again and again. I taught me son how to read as a baby and he would read Tikki Tikki Tembo to me when he was 3 years old. It is a lot of fun to say Tikki Tikki Tembo's great long name. After you read this book a few times your kids will be saying the great long name along with you.
The story of Tikki Tikki Tembo is about how the Chinese gave their first and honored sons great long names. To their second sons they gave hardly any name at all. When Tikki tikki tembo-no sa rembo-chari bari ruchi pip peri pembo falls into the well and his brother has to continually say that great long name before anyone can even help his poor drowning brother, the Chinese quickly learned that it was better to give children a simple, short name.
