' My three year old with a shortish attention span loves this book and will sit and pay attention to every word until we are done. ' My daughter can remember Tikki Tikki Tembo's whole name better than I can and we have reads this 100's of times. ' Funny story about how the Chinese came to give their children short names. As you said, it's sort of a far east 'Sambo,' but it teaches us all a very valuable lesson - never trust the Japanese. ' Kate you've got to read this one at circle time. ' LOVE LOVE LOVE this picture book! It reminds me of my 1st and 2nd grade teacher :)

' Filled with tough twisters that will dry and exaughst your mouth!
