Review “This book and CD combination…encourages children to retell the story to others (thus developing their oral language skills)…This is a very popular story that children will enjoy hearing and telling over and over.” ―Parents' Choice Awards, 2009 Parents' Choice Approved Award Winner“The Oscar-winner's reading voice is absolutely lovely. She has such fun with the story – and with the repeated pronunciation of "Tikki tikki tembo-no sa rembo-chari bari ruchi-pip peri pembo" – that you'll have no problem listening again and again.” ―Cookie Magazine“Young children will love hearing the audio again and again and families will play it over and over because this classic suits all ages.” ―Chapel Hill Herald“Macmillan Audio has taken a classic that is over 40 years old and added new life to TIKKI TIKKI TEMBO...Read by actress Marcia Gay Harden, kids and adults alike can enjoy the tongue twister of a name story that many of us have grown up with.” ―TeensReadToo.com“Marcia Gay Harden provides wonderful narration, giving each character a distinctive voice.” ―School Library Journal“Marcia Gay Harden's reading will remind the parents of young listeners why Arlene Mosel's book has entertained since 1968.” ―AudioFile, Earphones Award Winner Read more About the Author Arlene Mosel (1921-1996)’s debut children’s book, Tikki Tikki Tembo, was an American Library Association Notable Book and won the Boston Globe-Horn Book Award.
