About this title: Sambo is an African boy who lives in India.

"I absolutely adored this story as a child. I must get a copy of it again to see how well I remember it. I just remember the tiger chasing Sambo and all of the pancakes!!!"
"This was my favorite book of all time when I was growing up. My mother would read it over and over again to me as I sat on her lap. I had a hard time finding it several years ago, but finally was able to order it from a book store. The story I remember was in a "Children's Stories" book, and the pictures were very vivid and colorful, much bigger than the ones in this book. I am now sharing my love for this book with my grandchildren, neices and nephews, but they don't seem quite as enamored with it as I was. I guess it doesn't hold a candle to Dr Seuss, but I still love it."
"I know how politically incorrect this book is, but as a child you don't see the hidden message of the allegory, only the bright colorful tale of a boy outsmarting tigers. The story is so vibrant, it leaves an impression. You may not remember most stories you read as a child, but if you read this one, you will remember the tale and probably even start singing "Little Black Sambo" in your head."
"I thoroughly enjoyed the cleverness of this book. The tight-knit family obviously loves each other and it's shown in simple ways. I have an India-based version. I supposed it's supposed to be more politically correct, but my heart belongs to the original."
