My parents purchased this book for me when I was a child, so when it was time for our Black Culture Jubilee at my school I wanted to bring the Anansi tales to life for my students. I projected the book onto a classroom wall and read to a mixed age group who loved the tale and the parents enjoyed remembering the tale as well. Perfect story!

Book came in Great condition and was such a wonderful classic to have to read with my daughter.
I was a child and read this book. I love the illustrations and the story itself. I never forget the Ananse stories. Now I read them to my son.
It's a very good book.Quite an interesting choice of language.It will entertain one every time it is read.It may be hard for a very small child to understand.
Loved it since my children were young, the video is awesome!
For my granddaughter, a story I loved as a kid.
I purchased this book because it appears on one of the Scholastic DVD sets with Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. My children love the animated version so I thought we'd see if they liked the book also. Its such a wonderful classic and so beautifully illustrated. I love the cultural diversity that it adds to our bedtime story time together.
A Story, A story, is an african tale retold by Gail Haley. She also happens to be the illustrator, and the winner of a Cladecott medal.

This is the story of Anase,the spider man. He's the spider man because he spins a web up to heaven to ask the Sky God for his stories so he can share with the world. Hence, why stories are called spider stories. When Anase fulfills the God's order he is given the box of stories, and they get scattered all over Earth to share.

The story of Anase itself is a great tale of an old man capturing unlikely gifts for the God, to receive the box of stories. But the idea that the Earth has stories because the box openend and stories scattered everywhere is simple, yet imaginative. This is a great story for kids who like tales. If you like the book "Why mosquitos buzz in people's ears" then you would like this story. It's got great illustrations, and is a wonderful folk tale.
