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.
Tikitiki tembo how to#
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.
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.
