Anansi Goes to Lunch (Story Cove: a World of Stories)

2 reviews
Bobby Norfolk, Sherry Norfolk, 2007

Silly, but Funny...
Although this story has roots in African folklore, it does seem somewhat "Americanized" in the presentation, but perhaps, that was the authors' intent--to appeal to children's sense of fun with familiar items (like pizza, hot dogs, hamburgers, spaghetti) while introducing a beloved character from another culture, the trickster spider, Anansi. In this tale, Anansi looks more human than ...

Awesome pictures
The story is very cute and clever. The artist did an amazing job of really bringing the story to life. The expressions on Billy Brown's face are wonderful. I hope to see more of this artist!

My three-year-old nephew loves for us to read this story to him at bedtime. He loves Grandma Spider and her delicious pot of spicy beans, which lures the silly, ever-hungry Anansi to her kitchen. My nephew finds it amusing ...

As a parent, I know the importance of a moral education for our children, and this book provides an example for any parent on how to use stories to discuss moral issues. The ...

This guy's hilarious!
I just borrowed this from the local library, and after playing it once for my five year old son on the way to school, I'm on a mission to track down more audiobooks by Billy Norfolk. His storytelling is very dramatic and funny - we were both laughing out loud at his version of The Bramen Town Musicians. It's fun for my kid to hear adults really getting into the story and goofing it up, just like ...

Great Stories!
I bought this CD for my son who is autistic as a Christmas present. It was very entertaining and enjoyable for my son--it was good to hear him sit and laugh. The CD also taught some valuable life lessons as well. Bobby Norfolk is one of my favorite storytellers--I got to see him in person at the Timpanogos Storytelling Festival and I was thrilled to discover that he had recorded his stories on ...
