The story was of course to explain why Chinese children and families now have short names. I have seen this book, but was NEVER tempted to buy it, since the other version is the one close to our hearts.īy the way, we gave short names to our children! I venture to guess that the name change to publish the book came about, because of copyright reasons. I was written long after the record came out. There is the book that most of you remember. Oh.I re-read the last posting and it was clear as mud. That way I don’t have to reveal more than I want. You can send an e-mail through the guestbook or e-mail function. How would you get in touch? The e-address won’t be displayed when I post this. I dug the tape out a couple of years ago and my son and I enjoyed the listening. I loved listening to the story quite myself. The background "music" makes the story and the pauses and the predictable parts always warm a child’s heart. I think the storytelling is nicer than the book, except that there is a reference to the stereotype of a Chinese Laundry. Of course, there is this sing-song lilt to the whole thing. It was tikki tikki tembo no sarembo, oh ma mu-tchi, gamma gamma gu-tchi.like you remember. I still have it, but I would have to dig for it. The storyteller was definitely comfortable with media performance. I don’t know who the narrator was, but it could have been someone like Art Linkletter. He was the one that listened to a tape of this story as a child, that I got somehow. My son forwarded this e-letter exchange to me. But there’s no mention to that in this book.ĭoes anyone have memories of this as a kid? My siblings are backing me up, but I haven’t gone to my mom’s house to dig through the records.

And they called him Long-name-no-can-say in my record.

I am not sure how to spell my version, since its been YEARS since I listened to it, but here’s my best guess: Tikki tikki tembo-no sa rembo-oo ma moochi-gamma gamma goochi. I *swear* that the story on my record was somewhat different! This book calls him Tikki tikki tembo-no sa rembo-chari bari ruchi-pip peri pembo. So she got me copies of 5 of E and Craig’s fav childhood books - isn’t that the sweetest?Īnyhow, so I remember having a record of Tikki tikki tembo when I was little, so I skimmed through the book. I had told my mother-in-law that I was starting to collect some of the childhood books that I had as a kid to be able to read to my kids. One of them was the Tikki Tikki Tembo book. (I don’t know the spelling, and searching on this variation may not help).As I was cleaning up my room, I came across some of the Christmas presents I brought home from CA and hadn’t put away yet. The final version I heard is the one my mother and grandfather use: rikki tikki tembo no sa rembo hari bari buski pip pi perido hi tee pom pom ichio mee ono dom bianko and his brother Tom.

The second version I have heard is tikki tikki tembo no sarimbo hari kari bushki perry pembo do hai kai pom pom nikki no meeno bom barako and his brother Sam. There was: tikki tikki tembo-no sa rembo-chari bari ruchi-pip peri pembo said to mean "the most wonderful think in the world, and his brother Chang said to mean “little or nothing”. The first one I heard was in a picture book I had as a child. The story is about two brothers who each fall down the well, and because rikki tikki has such a long name, he drowns because it takes his brother so long to say his name and raise the alarm. Just do a google search on the variations of the names.

I can provide links if requested, but I hesitate to do so because the links include the full text of the story, and it could be copyrighted. Two of them online, and one of them in the story that my grandfather and mother told me. I have heard at least three versions of rikki tikki’s name.

I’m not sure that this counts as “literature” in the forum description, but it’s a story, and a book I remember… Mods please move if I got this one wrong.
