Books with title Little Black Cat

Unabridged, full color, original 1899 text by Helen Bannerman of a very brave boy outsmarting bullies of the world. This faithfully reproduced 1922 version has the majestic fonts, layout, and illustrations of Florence White Williams. The book is reproduced with a weathered look, to give the book a classic feel at an affordable price. It is a story has thrilled generations of children with its tense and exciting tale of victory. Controversy surrounds the book due to Bannerman's choice of names that were common for her time. This edition of Little Black Sambo preserves the same words and illustrations that are in the memories of adults who enjoyed the story as children, so that people can decide for themselves if it is a derogatory tale, or that of a champion boy. For a deeper view of the time and race relations, one can read the “Much Ado About a Name” section in the Appendix of Dr. Carter Woodson’s book The Mis-Education of the Negro (1933).

Charming Children's Story - From Synopsis: In a sandy mound, in a world very close to the ground, a world of grass forests, stones and twigs, lives Little Black Ant. How busy she is each day. Hidden under the snowy winter, venturing forth in the first sunshine of spring, gathering the honey through the bloom of summer, making friends with the butterfly, bumblebee and moth, then suddenly swept by a torrent of rain into an unknown land where she finds a new home, Little Blank Ant takes us through the strange happenings, the "ant antics" of the insect world. This is a story of real black ants and how they live. Almost how they think. Did you ever stop to think that a little black ant is not always too busy to think!

The Story of Little Black Sambo is a children's book written and illustrated by Scottish author Helen Bannerman and published by Grant Richards in October 1899. As one in a series of small-format books called The Dumpy Books for Children, the story was a children's favourite for more than half a century.Critics of the time observed that Bannerman presents one of the first black heroes in children's literature and regarded the book as positively portraying black characters in both the text and pictures, especially in comparison to the more negative books of that era that depicted blacks as simple and uncivilised.[1] However, it would become an object of allegations of racism in the mid-20th century, due to the names of the characters being racial slurs for dark-skinned people, and the fact the illustrations were, as Langston Hughes put it, in the pickaninny style. Both text and illustrations have undergone considerable revisions since.
