Title: A Story, a Story by Gail Haley ISBN: 0689712014 Publisher: Scott Foresman (Pearson K-12) Pub. Date: 28 February, 1988 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $6.99 |

Summary: Wonderful myth to share with the younger set
Comment: The book is the perfect match of text and illustration. The pictures are representative of the simplicity of primitive drawings of which children can relate. The prose is written in a fashion that most young readers should not have any difficulty understanding.
How Ananse was able to overcome the various characters is the basis of the theme of using ingenuity to defeat great obstacles.
Because this is a myth, the reader is able to see the connection between the characteristics of a spider and one who "weaves stories."
The book provides a glimpse of a primitive culture without being demeaning to said culture.
Rating: 4
Summary: Very nice.
Comment: I think that this book tells a fun story. My students will enjoy it. I do think that there are better Ananse books out on the market now. This is nice because it was one of the first and a classic.

Summary: A wonderful introduction to fables
Comment: My daughter was not particularly interested in hearing a story the first time we opened this book, but within a few pages, the magic of the story, and the wonderful cadence of the words, captured her attention. She was spell bound to the end. The story was an opportunity to talk to her about another culture, teach her about the concepts of fables and oral traditions, and to just plainly entertain her.
