Anansi the Spider by Gerald McDermott*

Award winner- Caldecott Honor Book
The people of Ghana love sharing the story about Kwaku Anansi the spider and his six sons.  Each son has a special gift and utilizes his gift to save his father when he is in danger.
A very fun, creative story!
Both of my boys read this book to themselves during our study of Ancient Africa.
It reminds me of The Five Chinese Brothers by Claire Huchet Bishop (text to text connections)-we own this book plus The Seven Chinese Brothers.
*Highly recommend.
-Borrowed from the library.
