Title: Tikki Tikki Tembo By: Arlene Mosel Copyright: 2007 Number of Pages: 48 Lit Require: Traditional Literature # 2It was a tradition in the Chinese culture to name the first son with a long and meaningful name and the second one with a short and not so meaningful name. Tikki Tikki Tembo-no sa rembo-chari bari ruchi-pip peri pembo, was the name of the first son, Chang was the name of the second son. There was a well that their mother had told them to not go near because they will fall in, sureI always felt slightly uneasy about this story even when I was a child. So much so, that a few years ago I looked the book up to re-read it.Tikki tikki tembo-no sa rembo-chari bari ruchi-pip peri pembo reminded of the nonsense "Chinese" words kids would string together to mock me and the other Chinese kids in school. It's almost the equivalent of going up to a kid of Asian descent and chanting, "ching chong ching" --not necessarily racist but very ignorant.I hope that these days there are fun,
This is a story about a Chinese family. The mother had two children and named the older son with a very long name and the younger son with a short name because that was the custom in the ancient china. One day the younger son fell into a well that was close to a river that the mother used to go. The older boy ran to her mother and told her that his brother had fallen into the well. The mother got scared and told the boy to go look for the old man with the ladder to get the boy out of the well.
Wow! Remember this book from my childhood...brings back lots of good memories.
Tikki Tikki Tembo - what you get is a fun and simple children's tale. Lots of repitition. Children falling down a well which is always hilarious. The illustrations are nice too.However, it's as genuinely Chinese as the Chinese place in the food court. And I really don't think anyone is buying this for source material on Chinese culture. Then again, I am a white guy talking about ethnicity.Cute little story that my unborn baby liked, but I'll see if it withstands the test of time.
I remember loving this book as a child and now my boys love it, too. We've had it from the library for 3 days, and it's been read no less than a dozen times. We love everything about it: the intricate artwork, the brother relationship, the pace of the language, the super long name. I wish only that it was an accurate portrayal of a Chinese folktale. A little internet research has quickly revealed that it isn't so.
Sarah, Thanks for bringing back fun memories. This became one of my favorite read-alouds in my student teaching days based on how my third-grade students responded to this literature. I did a section on international festivals and symbolisms in other cultures for social studies and made informational animals/dragon symbolism posters to hang in the room. I had this incredibly long name on the board with some words covered to see who was familiar with the story and build anticipation. Some kids
