The animals tease Anansi the Spider for being too lazy to clean his house and yard. Anansi, fed up with all the teasing, goes for a walk, and he discovers something amazing: Hyena's house is clean, and his garden is gorgeous, all while Hyena rests in a cozy hammock. Then, Anansi spots the secret: Hyena has a magic stick! Anansi steals the magic stick. It's smooth going until Anansi falls asleep while the stick is working. When he wakes up, the whole world is covered in water. How can Anansi make things right again? What will happen when Hyena realizes his magic stick is gone? Bright, compelling illustrations make this story come alive.
