Summary "Little Black Sambo" by Helen Bannerman is a children's storybook written during the early 20th century. The book centers around a little black boy named Sambo and his adventures in the jungle, where he encounters various tigers. Its narrative explores themes of cleverness, resourcefulness, and ultimately, the consequences of pride. The story follows Little Black Sambo, who, while adorned in his fine clothes crafted by his parents, meets several tigers in the jungle who intend to eat him. In a clever turn of events, Sambo offers each tiger his clothing in exchange for his freedom. Eventually, a commotion ensues among the tigers, who begin to fight over their newfound pride in their appearances. This chaos leads to their humorous demise, leaving behind a pool of melted butter, which Sambo's father collects to make pancakes. The story ends with the family enjoying a feast, underscoring themes of clever negotiation and familial love. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
