Anansi the Spider and the Birthday Cake

In 'Anansi the Spider and the Birthday Cake' you go on an adventure with Anansi, the clever spider from many West African, Surinamese and Caribbean folk tales. Anansi is incredibly cheerful, it's his birthday! He is eagerly looking forward to the cake that he can pick up from the king, as he does every year. This cake promises to be the biggest and tastiest ever, baked especially for him. But to his surprise, when Anansi arrives at the palace, he discovers that Turtle is already there. It's his birthday today too. When it's finally time for cake, only a tiny pastry is brought in. Anansi would rather draw lots for the entire cake than share it fairly with Turtle. But is that really so smart?

Iven Cudogham and his Anansi the Spider have become an indispensable part of life: from TV to theatre and from cinema to bookshelf, the cheerful and colourful stories about the legendary spider Anansi can be found everywhere. The picture books are based on classic stories from West Africa, Suriname and the Caribbean, which are now known all over the world.
