Anansi the Spider
My third graders loved the stories of Anansi, the trickster spider from Africa. We laugh at the naughty things Anansi does to the other animals, many because Anansi is so lazy.
But not all stories have Anansi coming out on top. Turtle tricks him well when he teaches him how to fish in Anansi Goes Fishing.
