Sam and the Tigers: A New Telling of Little Black Sambo Paperback - 2000
by Julius Lester; Jerry Pinkney (Illustrator)
"Lester and Pinkney have stripped away the ugly racism and . . . reclaimed a great classic for children. (The) expansive black storytelling voice is both folksy and contemporary, funny and fearful."--"Booklist." Full color.
Summary
First line
Once upon a time there was a place called Sam-sam-sa-mara, where the animals and the people lived and worked together like they didn't know they weren't supposed to.
From the rear cover
Sam lives in the town of Sam-sam-sa-mara, where everyone is named Sam and the animals and people live and work together. On his way to school one morning, he's stopped by a hungry tiger. Rather than being eaten, Sam makes the tiger a deal.
In this delightful new telling of one of the most controversial books in children's literature, Little Black Sambo, Julius Lester and Jerry Pinkney have retold and reclaimed the story. They bring new life to this charming tale of a boy who triumphs over several hungry tigers.
