Anansi and the Moss-Covered Rock 

by Eric Kimmel



Anansi the Spider 
by Gerald McDermott

Why we liked these books:  They are just fun books to read and it was fun to read about folk-lore from another country.  Anansi is a West African god that likes to play tricks, who came to earth in the form of a spider.

Activity:  The kids made their own "Anansi spiders" out of construction paper but you could use whatever materials you have!
