And yes, Sambo did manage to escape the tigers with his clothes AND bring the butter back to his mama, so they all had pancakes.
Apropos of that, the Sambo book was reissued with charming illustrations of a ca. 1920 Indian family (complete with Mamaji running her sewing machine like a race car driver). I don't approve of the original reason the book was revised, but this is a good book in its own right.
And I'll read anything that Fred Marcellino illustrates.
