Not worried about Fahrenheit 451. That will be cool, like being in AC. Crematorium ovens operate at 1600-1700F.

we had about 15-20 books when i was a kid...good stuff... That would have been Little Black Sambo. Little Black Sambo was in my generation.
I remember it well.
It was racist in illustrations but it shows the boy as being clever in outsmarting some tigers. The depictions of blacks were so typical of the times that didn't even register on me!
I just remember thinking that he was very smart!
It tells of a young boy whose parents give him some fancy clothes -- a beautiful red coat, blue trousers, a green umbrella and purple-and-crimson shoes. He goes for a walk in the jungle where he encounters talking tigers that wish to eat him. To dissuade them, he offers each a different accouterment. The tigers get into a cat fight over who is the grandest. They begin to chase one another round and round the tree trunk, going faster and faster until they melt into a pool of clarified butter. The boy reclaims his clothes and takes the butter home to his mother, who cooks a batch of pancakes. He eats 169 of them.

Yes, your mother is right, -it was about a little boy from India not Africa.
But although the story itself wasn't demeaning of black children, the illustrations in the pickaninny style were.
I found that my own reaction, -that the story itself was a positive portrayal was also how critics of the time also viewed it.

The problem for black children is that they aren't mature enough to disassociate the way the story is told with the way they relate to life among white people. White kids are used to seeing rich, famous, and heroes look like them. Black kids are surprised, if not relieved, to see such characters who look like them. There's a reason why little black boys more often dream of being a basketball player than a president. My white grandson, when he was very young, said he couldn't be a basketball player because he didn't "have black legs". Kids can figure out, without explanations, things that apply to their place in the scheme of things.

Individual books are $200+ and if you have a set of all six, they are being actively purchased for $2000 on auction sites like Mercari where they are not prohibited yet. Multiple sets sold today in used condition at that price!
