Reading it again definitely put a smile on my face. So when I saw this book was available on I had to buy it. This book brings back memories of being at my grandparentâ€™s house. The book is way behind in times as far as race. Since then LGB probably decided the 1923 character descriptions & names in this book were not what they wanted their name attached to. They had this book when it was a Little Golden book. When I was a kid in the early 80â€™s, I would go visit my grandparents.I just think itâ€™s a classic piece of literature & always thought it based in Africa where lions & tigers roam(ed) free. Of course, being in my late 60â€™s that was before all the complaints on race & we knew nothing about political correctness. This is a cheap reprint of a wonderfully told old story. Don't buy this!!! Get a colored picture version. The pictures are in black and white! The original art work is rich in jeweled colors and exquiste.And, Sambo outsmarts the tigers, so, he is hardly a character of ridicule. The mother does resemble Aunt Jemima, but it could also be a South Asian. Yes, it depicts people with dark skin, but they are Indian, not US Blacks. Although not PC, I think it is pretty harmless and does not denigrate. Not PC, but this is the book I read as a child, and I was curious to look at it again.
