"Tikki tikki tembo-no sa rembo-chari bari ruchi-pip peri pembo is the full name of the firstborn son in the Chinese family of this story. As the firstborn's, his name must be spoken completely and reverently. This old folktale of what happens when the boy falls into a well and his younger brother attempts to get help is nicely retold and should make excellent read-aloud material....Bright, active, and delightfully expressive."-- School Library Journal "On spacious, uncluttered pages the artist has extended the story with wonderfully droll ink-and-wash drawings that combine imaginative beauty with a true Chinese spirit."-- The Horn Book   "Just right for storytelling and tongue-twisting repeating, and . . . for reading aloud."-- Kirkus Reviews, On spacious, uncluttered pages the artist has extended the story with wonderfully droll ink-and-wash drawings that combine imaginative beauty with a true Chinese spirit., "Tikki tikki tembo-no sa rembo-chari bari ruchi-pip peri pembo is the full name of the firstborn son in the Chinese family of this story.

    As listed, a very nice Nintendo 64 Purple controller with a TIGHT stick, very pleased. Quick delivery and the packaging was fine, when I first saw how small it was I was concerned, but no need to be for it was fine. This seller is excellent.
