The Story of Little Black Sambo

by Helen Bannerman

The Story of Little Black Sambo Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The jolly and exciting tale of the little boy who lost his red coat and his blue trousers and his purple shoes but who was saved from the tigers to eat 169 pancakes for his supper, has been universally loved by generations of children. First written in 1899, the story has become a childhood classic and the authorized American edition with the original drawings by the author has sold hundreds of thousands of copies.

Little Black Sambo is a book that speaks the common language of all nations, and has added more to the joy of little children than perhaps any other story. They love to hear it again and again; to read it to themselves; to act it out in their play.

Synopsis:

The only authorized American edition of this childhood classic, first published around 1900, tells the naive, humorous story of Black Sambo, his beautiful clothes and his adventures with the tigers in the jungles of India. Full-color illustrations.
