(An American edition of the book was   illustrated by Florence White Williams.) In the tale, an Indian boy named Sambo   prevails over a group of hungry tigers. The little boy has to give his colourful   new clothes, shoes, and umbrella to four tigers so they will not eat him. Sambo   recovers the clothes when the jealous, conceited tigers chase each other around   a tree until they are reduced to a pool of delicious melted butter. The story   was a children's favourite for half a century, but then became controversial due   to the use of the word sambo, a racial slur in some countries.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e— Excerpted from \u003cem\u003eWikipedia, \u003c\/em\u003ethe free encyclopedia. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MobileReference","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47166645207280,"sku":"9781607784715","price":0.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781607784715_p0.jpg?v=1763834174","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781607784715","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
