Este entrañable cuento tradicional chino, narrado con un ritmo cadencioso, explica por qué antiguamente los hijos mayores recibían nombres largos y honoríficos, mientras que a los menores se les daban nombres cortos. Cuando el pequeño Tikki Tikki Tembo-no Sa Rembo-chari Bari Ruchi-pip Peri Pembo cae a un pozo, la desesperada carrera de su hermano por pedir ayuda se complica por culpa de ese nombre tan largo, convirtiendo la tragedia en una divertida aventura. Una historia cálida y entrañable sobre hermanos, tradiciones familiares y el poder de los nombres, que ha cautivado a generaciones de lectores.

English Translation

Tikki Tikki Tembo

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.
