What is Anansi, that trickster spider up to now? While taking a walk in the cool forest, Anansi found a moss-covered rock that had mysterious powers. Anansi immediately thought of a plan to trick his fellow forest dwellers so that he could steal, Lion's yams, Elephant's bananas, Rhino's watermelon, Hippo's pineapples, and many more delights without doing a lick of work. However, when Anansi attempted to try this trick on Little Bush Deer, he discovered that he had met his match. Eric A. Kimmel's tale, 'Anansi and the Moss-Covered Rock' is a delightful and humorous retelling of a West African Folktale. The young reader will enjoy the antics of this lazy little spider named, Anansi.
