Tikki, Tikki, Tembo

Okay, this is one where I think I might remember it, but I'm not sure. It is also another one on the Memoria Press Junior Kindergarten list. It's a story that explains in a long roundabout way why chinese children have short names. I'm not in love with it, but it's amusing I suppose as a whole. - 2012

I'm returning to this one again, today. We have a picture changing Audible book the kiddos can watch and listen to on the Kindle Fire as well as a paperback picture book I bought the first time we went through Memoria Press JrK so many years ago. I know now that it is because of The Funny Little Woman that I remember this author/illustrator duo.

My children enjoy this story and the irony of it's tale. I'm glad to revisit it once again. Do you know why the Chinese mothers' give short names?
