Little Black Sambo is an 1899 children's book where the protagonist, a South Indian boy, encounters four hungry tigers. To avoid being eaten by the tigers, he surrenders his colorful new clothes, shoes, and umbrella. The tigers chase each other around a tree until they are reduced to a pool of melted butter. Sambo recovers his clothes, and his mother makes pancakes with the butter. Sambo was depicted as a perpetual child, not capable of living as an independent adult". It was said that Little Black Sambo "demonstrates rigid, reductive stereotyping, but it was seen as harmless entertainment in 1935.
