5.0 out of 5 stars Anansi The Trickster Wins the Day, Jun 28 2008

This review is from: Anansi and the Tug O' War (Paperback)

Anansi stories are always interesting because the clever spider trickster is always landing in some kind of adventure or trouble...many time of his own greedy, impulsive design. Bobby & Sherry Norfolk offer several Anansi stories that are full of humor and important character-building lessons. This book follows that same tried and true pattern.

If your child has a vivid imagination and a sense of humor, he / she would probably enjoy this cause and effect story where Anansi actually wins the day by succeeding in his trickery: convincing two very large animals that he, a little spider, is stronger than they are. Educationally, the tale presents themes about consideration, pride, boasting, overconfidence, respect, listening, and the Virtue of the Small. This book is worth reading to and discussing with children. The story illustrates the fact that sometimes brains can win over brawn.

The companion websites from August House & StoryCove are enjoyable for young people as well.

This review is from: Anansi and the Tug O' War (Paperback)

Having grown up with Anansi stories, I wanted to give my child exposure to these tales of mischief and morals. I bought three of the books by the same author and my 2 and a half year old and I read and enjoyed all three the very night they arrived. There are beautiful illustrations and the stories are wonderful for all children. You won't be disappointed.
