The Story of Little Black Sambo 1927. Books measures approx. 6 x 7 1/4. This is an old book. There are some markings on a few pages and they are all pictured above.

Questions & Comments
I loved this book as a child! I remember the picture of the tigers running around the tree! Awesome. F&W
I used to love this book as well. I have read much about this story and the various editions. As the story itself is public domain,many versions are out there and because of the ethnic overtones (African and East Indian) and the sensitiveity around them.... they are exceptionally rare and most older ones (like this one) are out of print. This is highly collectable.Unfortunetly for me, it has already gone out of my credit pricerange. I wish you the best on this auction and all future ones, whether you are lister or bidder.......
I understand about it being out of your credit range. Being new to listia...I have nothing to bid with yet. I look forward to building up my credits and having some fun. Thanks for your comment...fanned ya!
Yes indeed!! Great Memories! We have all searched through our old books trying to find this one in particular, as both my brother and sister enjoyed it as well. However, we have been unable to locate it. My mom never threw anything away so we think we must have either lost it ourselves or let someone borrow it and just don't remember.
Andrea...I messed up originally when I tried to reply to this message and make a post...so now I have to reply "again" to clear my messages. I wish you the best of luck...I know that you really wanted the book! Some memories are priceless. Thanks again for watching and bidding.
I don't know what happened to the book mom read to us either. I found this one in an old crappy junk shop. There was one little skinny and high bookcase and I just happened to take down what was on top ...and there it was! I re-read it and now have it memorized again.
