Anansi's Party Time by Eric A Kimmel

Anansi's Party Time by Eric A Kimmel

Anansi the Spider thinks he pulled a great prank on slow-moving Turtle. . . . but when Turtle throws a party of his own, Anansi is in for a surprise.
 
"Dear Turtle, I'm having a party. You're invited."  But when Turtle arrives, he learns Anansi forgot to mention it's a costume party--so he goes home to try on different outfits.  Then he finds out he was supposed to bring a dish. . . and by the time he's all ready, Anansi tells him the party is already over.
 
To get back at the Spider, Turtle throws his own party, with punch and cake and games.  But when Anansi wins a game, the prize isn't what he expected.

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.

Eric Kimmel has wanted to be an author since he was in kindergarten and learned that authors create books. In 1974, he published his first book. Since then, he's produced over fifty books, many of which have received multiple state prizes, made school and library recommended lists, and won renowned accolades like the Caldecott Honor Medal (Hershel and the Hanukkah Goblins) and the Sydney Taylor Picture Book Award (The Chanukkah Guest and Gershon's Monster). He is the only picture book author to win the National Jewish Book Award twice. The Chanukkah Visitor was the first time.

The Mysterious Visitors was the second time. The Daughters of the Texas Revolution awarded him the Naylor Prize for his collection of stories from Texas missions, The Lady With The Blue Cloak.
