Little black sambo

Sweet story about a young boys adventures in the jungle with several tigers who take his clothes, but his adventure ends well. Remember from my childhood how much I loved hearing this story. I'm impressed with how smart the boy is to barter his clothes for his life, and to go home with a special gift for his mother and father who gave him the precious new clothes out of their love for him. What a smart and daring young man he turned out to be!

Racist

One of the most racist children's books ever known to man.
