Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"This story, which might almost have come out of some folklore collection, has about it an effortless perfection which baffles analysis . . . The formula is: extreme simplicity of language, short, cadenced sentences with enough repetition to give the pleasant rhythm little children enjoy, a plot full of mild and funny surprises, considerable suspense, and complete satisfaction at the end. Still, the easy charm of this unaffected, convincing little tale eludes us."-- "May Hill Arbuthnot, Children and Books."

Reseña del editor:

Born in Edinburgh in 1863, Helen Bannerman lived in India for thirty years. As a gift for her two little girls, she wrote and illustrated "The Story of Little Black Sambo"(1899), a story that clearly takes place in India (with its tigers and "ghi," or melted butter), even though the names she gave her characters belie that setting. For this new edition of Bannerman's much beloved tale, the little boy, his mother, and his father have all been given authentic Indian names: Babaji, Mamaji, and Dadaji. And Fred Marcellino's illustrations'lively and lavish'are unmistakably Indian in every detail. "The Story of Little Babaji: "an old favorite is lovingly, memorably transformed. 1996 Children's Books (NY Public Library) Notable 1997 Childrens' Trade Books in Social Studies (NCSS/CBC) 1997 Editor's Choice (Booklist) Booklist Notable Children's Books of 1997 'Lasting Connections of 1996' Book Links
