Anansi and the Pot of Beans
17 Oct 2009
Format:Paperback
Americans use to grow their food. In addition, children learned lessons that you cannot teach in a classroom on a farm. Moreover, Anansi learns many lessons in Anansi and the Pots of Beans in his grandmother's fields. For example, he learned that you often make a fool of yourself when you do not listen to grown ups. Finally, you could teach your children what happens when do not follow instructions with this book. In other words, Anasi will never forget his grandmother's pot of beans.

Story is good, illustrations not so much
7 Mar 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I love Anansi stories and am collecting books for my 2nd grade class where they will be told regularly. This book is decently written and is accessible to early readers, but the illustrations are a bit jarring and unattractive.

A great laugh!

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Anansi stories are always interesting because the spider trickster is always landing in some kind of adventure or trouble...many time of his own greedy, impulsive design. My three-year-old nephew loves for us to read this story to him at bedtime. He loves Grandma Spider and her delicious pot of spicy beans, which lures the silly, ever-hungry Anansi to her kitchen.
My nephew finds it amusing that the spider fellow has six arms, three in each sleeve, while Grandma spider has a sleeve for each of her arms. [Spiders, of course, in this story walk on their other set of "arms / legs" for a total of eight appendages all together! LOL] He especially enjoys the illustration on page 9 when Grandma is cooking. Another picture he loves is on page 13 when Anansi is hovering over the port of beans---his six arms ready for the unveiling!
If your child has a vivid imagination and a sense of humor, he / she would probably enjoy this cause and effect story where Anansi looses his hair. Educationally, the tale presents themes about responsibility, trustworthiness, respect, and listening. This book is worth reading to and discussing with children. It's actually more interesting--in text and in illustration-than "Anansi Goes to Lunch," which is by the same author / illustrator pair.
The companion websites from StoryCove are enjoyable for young people as well.
