Tiki Tiki Tembo by Arlene Mosel, Blair Lent (Illustrator) ?
go here: http://www.apples4theteacher.com/holidays/chinese-new-year/kids-books/tiki-tiki-tembo.html
Three decades and more than one million copies later children still love hearing about the boy with the long name who fell down the well. Arlene Mosel and Blair Lent's classic re-creation of an ancient Chinese folktale has hooked legions of children, teachers, and parents, who return, generation after generation, to learn about the danger of having such an honorable name as Tikki tikki tembo-no sa rembo-chari bari ruchi-pip peri pembo.
Hope it's what you're looking for

The book is Tikki Tikki Tembo by Arlene Mosel. I loved this book as a child and just bought it last week from Barnes & Noble for my son. The link to the book on the B&N website is http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?z=y&EAN=9780805006629&itm=2.

It's the story of why all Chinese people have such short names.

When I was a little girl, and I had to stay in the house because it was raining outside, my Gramma used to play that for me on an old 45 record player. I used to love that story!!!
