COMMUNITY REVIEWS

my favorite Anansi submitted by dave_472 on July 20, 2020, 1:55pm this was my favorite Anansi kids book of all time!

Old school submitted by KimB on August 27, 2020, 1:29pm An older tale, it was hard to square it with modern values. Worth a read for knowledge and understanding, but not something I'd read multiple times.

Love this book! submitted by eli7416 on June 21, 2021, 1:23pm I purchased this book because the author was my professor at EMU. I love the art work and it’s simplicity! It’s beautifully done.

Love this Book submitted by downing on August 7, 2022, 12:01pm It's a classic, worth reading.
