Tikki tikki tembo-no sa rembo-
chari bari ruchi-pip peri pembo!
Five 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 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.
Tikki Tikki Tembo is the winner of the 1968 Boston Globe - Horn Book
Award for Picture Books.
