The Story of Little Black Sambo is a children's book written and
illustrated by Helen Bannerman. Sambo is a South Indian boy who
encounters four hungry tigers, and surrenders his colorful new
clothes, shoes, and umbrella so they will not eat him. The tigers
are vain and each thinks he is better dressed than the others. They
chase each other around a tree until they are reduced to a pool of
melted butter. Sambo then recovers his clothes and his mother makes
pancakes of the butter. The story was a children's favorite for
half a century until the word sambo was deemed a racial slur in
some countries. The Story of Little Black Mingo is another classic
by Helen Bannerman.
