Tikki Tikki Tembo

Read Aloud of Tikki Tikki Tembo by Arlene Mosel and illustrated by Blair Lent


It is so much fun to recite the title character's name...

Tikki tikki tembo-no sa rembo-chari bari ruchi-pip peri pembo.

Can you count how many letters are in his name? Not counting the hypens (-) count them all! How many letters are in your first name? Probably not as many as in his name!

His name is repeated often in the story, so see if you can say it along with me.
