Description
Illustrated by Julian Wehr with seven movable illustrations.
Special Collections copy is in publisher's color-printed pictorial blue boards, with dark blue plastic comb binding (variant of binding described in Barton), white endpapers, bookseller's label rear pastedown: "The May Co."
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 up with a tiger in the jungle and giving him his new red coat to avoid being eaten. Tab allows for the tiger's mouth to be opened and closed.
