Editorial Reviews:

When a little boy named Rajani ventures into the jungle, he runs into several tigers who make him give them his fine new red coat, blue trousers, purple shoes with crimson linings, and even his green umbrella! But Rajani outsmarts the tigers in the end, in this kinder retelling of Helen Bannerman’s Little Black Sambo. New illustrations and non-offensive names and character depictions make this story lovable again.

Summary: Little Rajani Out wits some tigers
Comment: A lovely updated version of "Little Black Sambo", the story follows Little Rajani, who out wits some tigers when walking through a forrest. The pictures are bright and engaging, and the story has been written so that it is suitable for a young child.

Summary: What happened to Gustaf Tenggren's Illustrations?!
Comment: I was really looking forward to Little Golden Books' updated version of Bannerman's classic story, but I must agree that the illustrations were quite disappointing. The updated story (and title) are fine, but instead of using the exquisite artwork originally used in Golden Books' original version by Gustaf Tenggren (an illustator whose work still appears in countless reprintings of the "The Poky Little Puppy (A Little Golden Book Classic)" and the "The Saggy Baggy Elephant (Little Golden Book)", among others), the publisher chose new illustrations by someone else, and they were not as captivating. For a better rendition of this classic story with great illustrations, I would recommend instead Fred Marcellino's "The Story of Little Babaji".
