Use of bold, bright primary colors.
Bound in illustrated paper depicting Sambo riding a tiger over boards with dust jacket and bright blue endpapers with illustrations of Sambo and animals.
Tells the story of a young boy, Sambo, who receives a brand new outfit from his mother. On a walk in the jungle though, Sambo encounters four different tigers who each threaten to eat him. Sambo cleverly convinces each tiger to take a piece of his clothing rather than eat him. The tigers, dressed in Sambo's clothes begin to argue which among them is the grandest. Sambo is able to retrieve each piece of his clothing while the tigers are distracted by their argument. In the course of the argument, the tigers run so fast around a tree that they turn into butter, which Sambo's mother uses to make pancakes for Sambo and his family.
Pages depict Sambo meeting with the third tiger who he must give his green umbrella to.
