Sinopse

When Anansi the Spider gets stuck in a melon, he decides to pass his time by doing what he´s best at--tricking the other animals around him. When his melon begins talking, Elephant is so impressed he decides to take it to show the king. But Anansi can´t resist the opportunity to make jokes at the expense of everyone they meet. Even the King loses his temper over Anansi´s bold remarks--but how will the Spider free himself? Anansi´s quick thinking will delight readers who love to watch a master trickster at work, and the bold illustrations of the animals´ frustrated faces are sure to make kids laugh. Based on tales originating in West Africa and familiar in Caribbean culture, the five-book Anansi the Trickster series is full of slapstick humor and mischief. Eric A. Kimmel´s imaginative retellings combined with Janet Stevens´ expressive illustrations create the perfect silly stories for fun-loving kids.
