Named "The story of little black Sambo". Written by Helen Bannerman. I wonder if is worth any money. It's probabaly worth more to my childern, since that was once was one of their story books.

Depends on year printed and condition. It was in print in 1979. May still be. Some are worth little more than they cost new.

The original version of the book has nothing to do with his tribe. The book is set in India.

It was a gift to someone in 1974. Little Black Sambo was from India, right?

The story goes, Once apon a time there was a little black boy, and his name was Little Black Sambo. And his Mother was called Black Mumbo. And his father was called Black Mumbo. Cool story for a little kid. Then the tigers got involved. A happy ending with the family eating pancakes.

When i was a kid, SAMBO was a nickname used for black kids that came to the Netherlands https://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/nl.html from our former colonies like Suriname, Aruba, Curacao. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_Antilles

For the kids it was very insulting.

In those days we had a cartoon strip magazine called Sjors and Sjimmie, one black kid and one white. The black kid was portrayed with extreme large thick lips http://img58.imageshack.us/img58/1038/sjorsensjimmiedu7.jpg and always with a look on his face if he didn't know what was going on. The stereotyping dripped of the paper, we as kids didn't know any better.
In one of the more resent versions Sjimmie looks a lot better, http://img58.imageshack.us/img58/31/gastsjorssjimmiejo6.jpgand the kids ar portrayed as equal.

Perhaps the last pic is not chosen right becouse the police is after them :D
