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.
Amazon.com:
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)

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.

I remember this book from my childhood and my son now laughs at all the silly-sounding repetition. We love to read this book fast!

I bought this book for my daughter when she was 2 years old and she loved it! I had read it as a child and thought she might enjoy it. The names are tricky, but the kids find it entertaining watching these boys get into such trouble.

When I asked my children (now grown) which book I should bring to a baby shower they all agreed that this one was memorable. The cover says it's sold a million copies and I believe it. To this day we all remember every syllable of that "great, long, name".

Tiki Tiki Tembo
Arlene Mosel
The oldest son was named Tikki tikki tembo-no sa rembo-chari bari ruche-pip peri pembo, which means "the most wonderful thing in the whole wide world!"
The second son was named Chang.
When Tiki tiki tembo fell into the well, his poor brother had to run and get help. It took so long to run and get help, and even longer to say his brother's name.
This is a re-telling of a Chinese fable. My daughter brought this book home from a book sale when she was in elementary school; she read it so many times the book wore out. We got another copy of this book so I could read it to my grandchildren. Children love to say this boy's name. Every time we come to the name, a different child wants to say it. Soon, I find that the children can read the book to me.
Pick up a copy of Tikki Tikki Tembo, and watch the excitement on the children's faces.
