Product Description

Product Description

When a little boy named Rajani ventures into the jungle, he runs into several tigers who make him give them his fine new red coat, blue trousers, purple shoes with crimson linings, and even his green umbrella! But Rajani outsmarts the tigers in the end, in this kinder retelling of Helen Bannerman’s Little Black Sambo. New illustrations and non-offensive names and character depictions make this story lovable again.

Another Favourite 26 April 2011
By Mrs F.M
Format:Hardcover
I loved this little book with the Indian boy and his family and it is superbly illustrated.
I have the original one which I have treasured for over sixty years, but I really enjoyed this version too.

Format:Hardcover
This is a faithful version of the original Little Black Sambo story which uses the original text but updates the names of the boy and his mother and father. The pictures are more child friendly than the original book and my nieces love both the book and the story. It's a great story to tell around Shrove Tuesday as Little Rajani eats 167 pancakes made out of the tigers' ghee. Highly recommended - not least for the picture of the tiger with crimson slippers on his ears!

What happened to Gustaf Tenggren's Illustrations?! 24 Sep 2004
By C. Scott Strumello - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
I was really looking forward to Little Golden Books' updated version of Bannerman's classic story, but I must agree that the illustrations were quite disappointing. The updated story (and title) are fine, but instead of using the exquisite artwork originally used in Golden Books' original version by Gustaf Tenggren (an illustator whose work still appears in countless reprintings of the "The Poky Little Puppy (A Little Golden Book Classic)" and the "The Saggy Baggy Elephant (Little Golden Book)", among others), the publisher chose new illustrations by someone else, and they were not as captivating. For a better rendition of this classic story with great illustrations, I would recommend instead Fred Marcellino's "The Story of Little Babaji".

Great memories 17 Dec 2009

Great memories. I remember this story as a kid. Brought a smile to my face.
Great story 29 Mar 2012
By Steve - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a classic (if not politically correct) story for all children. Hard to find in most book stores, I am sure due to the PC issue. Glad you carry it.
