About the Book

A beloved Chinese folktale retold with rhythmic charm, this classic picture book explains why Chinese parents once gave their firstborn sons long, honorific names while younger sons received short ones. When young Tikki Tikki Tembo-no Sa Rembo-chari Bari Ruchi-pip Peri Pembo falls into a well, his brother's frantic race for help—hampered by that impossibly long name—turns tragedy into comic suspense. Warm, funny, and steeped in tradition, this tale of brothers, family customs, and the power of names has delighted generations of young readers and listeners alike.
