Helen Bannerman, Frank ver Beck "Little Black Sambo Storybook" (The Platt & Munk Co, Inc, 1935). Illustrated by the authors.
Little Black Sambo is a children’s story originally written by Helen Bannerman in 1899, telling the tale of a young boy named Sambo who cleverly outwits a group of tigers and recovers his family’s possessions. Set in a vibrant, imaginative world, the story is known for its playful narrative, repetitive phrasing, and engaging illustrations that bring Sambo’s adventures to life. The book was designed to entertain young readers while fostering early literacy through memorable characters and rhythmic storytelling, making it a notable example of classic turn-of-the-century children’s literature.
