Little Black Sambo Uncensored Original 1922 Full Color Reproduction Helen Bannerman Florence White Williams 9781640321410 Books Reviews

• OK. Not PC, but this is the book I read as a child, and I was curious to look at it again. Although not PC, I think it is pretty harmless and does not denigrate. Yes, it depicts people with dark skin, but they are Indian, not US Blacks. The mother does resemble Aunt Jemima, but it could also be a South Asian. And, Sambo outsmarts the tigers, so, he is hardly a character of ridicule.
• The pictures are in black and white! The original art work is rich in jeweled colors and exquiste. Don't buy this!!! Get a colored picture version. It is not described well on the website. Beware. This is a cheap reprint of a wonderfully told old story. Don't buy this! Very disappointed. Will return.
• I’ve always loved this story. My teachers used to read it to us. Of course, being in my late 60’s that was before all the complaints on race & we knew nothing about political correctness. I just think it’s a classic piece of literature & always thought it based in Africa where lions & tigers roam(ed) free.
• When I was a kid in the early 80’s, I would go visit my grandparents. They had this book when it was a Little Golden book. Since then LGB probably decided the 1923 character descriptions & names in this book were not what they wanted their name attached to. Which I get. The book is way behind in times as far as race. However, I love this book. This book brings back memories of being at my grandparent’s house. I loved being there. And I miss them terribly. So when I saw this book was available on I had to buy it. I’m so glad I did. Reading it again definitely put a smile on my face.
• Loved this story as a kid and thought all this stuff about the book being racist was nonsense, that there's no point in censoring books because that's how we learn about the past, etc. Then my copy came and I read it to my child. This is no Puddin' Head Wilson. I couldn't get through it with the characters names as written, so instead of Black* we just call them "Little Boy* Sambo", "Mama* Mumbo" and "Papa*Jumbo", and the charming story can be repeated in the modern age.
  
  The edition we received was a low quality printing, but it was the only reasonably priced copy I could find.
• THIS WAS MY FAVORITE BOOK AS A CHILD; SO VERY HAPPY TO HAVE A COPY OF IT ONCE AGAIN!!! THANK YOU FOR MAKING IT AVAILABLE!!! I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT SEE ANY INFERENCE OF THIS BEING RACIAL WHATSOEVER!!! IF DISCRIMINATION IS BEING IMPLIED IN THIS BOOK, IT WOULD BE DUE TO HUMANS PUTTING IT IN THERE ON THEIR OWN ACCORD. GOD HELP THOSE PEOPLE!
• i couldve dont better on my librarys photo copier. atrociously bad print quality. black and white and couldnt even see details.
  they should be ashamed to even sell this garbage.
  so disappointed because I loved this story as a child but this product is an insulting rip off.
• Not a very good rendition of the original. The pictures are not in color and not well done.
  Have you actually partnered with the SPLC? They are a Communist Front Organisation.
  If you did, why would you do it? They are the enemy! And they will advise you to not do business with pro American conservatives.
  Where are your loyalties?
