Anansi the Spider and the Greedy Tiger

Meet the clever Anansi and his friends in 'Anansi the Spider and the Greedy Tiger'. This picture book is the first volume in a new series based on the mischievous spider from African folk tales. When Anansi the spider sees his ransacked refrigerator and a large paw print outside his door, he knows exactly what time it is: the Greedy Tiger has been by again and has helped himself to all the tasty food belonging to Anansi and his forest friends. Time to teach Tiger a lesson! All the animals tremble with fear of Tiger, but Anansi does not. He effortlessly conjures up a cunning plan to put Tiger in his place. The mischievous spider Anansi has captivated young and old for centuries. He plays the leading role in numerous West African, Surinamese, and Caribbean folk tales—and now in this picture book series as well. Cultural heritage in a modern guise, for children aged 4 and up. The cheerful text by former AT5 children's presenter Iven Cudogham, who, just like Anansi, is the father of 7 children, wins everyone over to the clever but mischievous spider. The warm illustrations by Moldybyrd Studio make 'Anansi the Spider and the Greedy Tiger' an unmissable title.
