Anansi and the Talking Melon (Anansi the Trickster)

My 3 year old loves this book, wants to read it every day

Love the series, they are our favorite book’s to read to my daughter for bedtime. Can have fun using different voices for each of the animal characters to enhance the stories. Plus the stories are rather entertaining as well. My daughter loves it, when I read them to her.

That Anansi is such a scoundral!!After boring into one of Elephants melons, he eats himself too big to get out!! So, Anansi waits to get thing again...Only, he's bored! So he decides to amuse himself at Elephant's expense... and Hippo's...and Warthog's...Well, you get the idea.This is a cute story about a trickster spider. Janet Stevens' illustrations are, as always, excellent. Anansi is not just a regular spider. Stevens gives him expressions and a personality. You wind up laughing with Anansi's pranks. Very well done!I would definitly recommend this book. I read it to a group of young school age kids - 5-9. They could kinda tell where the story was going, but were more than willing to sit for the ride.

As a teacher I love this book! It’s funny and entertaining as well as a good choice when teaching folktales. My third graders loved it. It’s an AR book too!

We love this book! My 3-year-old with Autism quotes it all day long. It is definitely a great one to get, especially if you love Anansi the Spider like my 1,3, and 4-year-old do!

I use this book as an extension of the Junior Great Books program, which includes Anansi stories. My 2nd graders just love the stories, and the illustrations in this story are excellent. We made this book a gift to the class.

Book was in excellent condition. Price was right and shipping was fast. Daughter, now grandchildren, love the Anansi stories. Thank you!

My son really enjoyed the this book we like the Anansi stories.

Good packaging. Book just as described. Thanks

Bought this book for the children I teach.....................a great fun way to continue their enthusiasm for reading with a topic they truly enjoyed!
