Anansi and the Magic Stick
What's This Book About
When the other animals laugh at his messy house, Anansi the Spider is embarrassed. He wants to fix the problem . . . as long as he doesn’t have to work too hard. Stomping off in a huff, Anansi stumbles into an amazing secret–Hyena has a magic stick that follows his orders. If he steals it, the spider thinks, he’ll have the neatest home in town and he’ll never have to work again. But the magic might be more than Anansi bargained for… Based on tales originating in West Africa and familiar in Caribbean culture, the five-book Anansi the Trickster series is full of slapstick humor and mischief. Eric A. Kimmel’s imaginative retellings combined with Janet Stevens’ expressive illustrations create the perfect silly stories for fun-loving kids.
