A great laugh!
Anansi stories are always interesting because the spider trickster is always landing in some kind of adventure or trouble...many time of his own greedy, impulsive design.

Awesome pictures

A book with vision
I am a storyteller and trainer. This book does what some other good books don't quite do in terms of teaching and showing all of us how to integrate stories effectively into class curriculum. I wish that all teachers and student teachers would study this book and implement it. When I am teaching, this book easily helps me find and integrate a teaching story for the lesson that does wonders for ...
