Anansi and the Tug O' War (Story Cove Teacher Activity Pack) Reviews

  • Jeremy

    Entertaining story about Anansi the spider outsmarting two large and powerful animals. Anansi uses clever tricks in the story to become victorious. Good use of dialogue and action throughout to tell the story. An entertaining story for young readers to explore independently or during a read-aloud. Teachers could use the text in read-alouds to focus on conflict/resolution, chronology, and character development.

  • Lynn Davidson

    Anansi is a spider and one day an elephant didn't see him and lay on him. Anansi challenged the elephant to a tug-of-war, but while the elephant napped, Anansi tied a rope to him and ran to engage a killer whale in the same challenge. When they pulled against the rope, they thought they were in competition with the spider and couldn't believe how strong he was.
    Cute story.

  • Anne

    Cleverness pays off in a tough spot!

  • Željko Filipin

    Can a spider be stronger than an elephant or a whale?

  • Mark Pedigo

    Short (5 minutes or so) but charming. Listened to it from stories.audible.com.
