Meet Anansi the Trickster


Today we went to the the Main Nashville library and saw a puppet show about Anansi the spider. We saw the same show last year, but if it's possible, I think Gerrick enjoyed it even more this time around. Afterward we were able to get a closer look at the spider and lion puppets.

Thanks to LibriVox, we can listen to West African Folktales, including many Anansi stories, anytime we want.

  1. I think that kids are like us, we can get something new out of a story or book every time we read it.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog and I look forward to following you.

    Mine loved the Gilgamesh ones.
