Anansi and the Tug O' War by Bobby Norfolk

Anansi and the Tug O' War by Bobby Norfolk

A timeless trickster tale from Africa about silly spider, Anansi. Anansi the trickster spider is back to his old tricks once again in this classic African folktale. Anansi must use his brainpower to teach Elephant and Whale to respect smaller creatures. He challenges both Elephant and Whale to a tug o' war, but they don't realize that they are actually pulling against each other and not Anansi. In the end, both stubborn animals are so tired that they give up when Anansi asks them who is the strongest animal and he declares himself the winner of the tug o' war. In this battle of wits, brains definitely outdo brawn. This trickster tale from Africa will teach readers the importance of courage, resourcefulness and respect. While author, Bobby Norfolk was visiting the town of Kumasi in Ghana in the summer of 1993, a woman told him, At four-thirty every afternoon, we try to gather together and have Anansi time. Norfolk attended the afternoon break and heard elders tell stories of Anansi, the tireless trickster of Ghanian tradition. Anansi appears in these stories in his most playful and creative guises. The Norfolks' adaptations brim with action, energy, and humor.
