Anansi Finds a Fool: An Ashanti Tale

"When you dig a hole for someone else, you will fall into it yourself". Acclaimed folklorist Verna Aardema once again weaves a funny and magical African tale about lazy Anansi, who wants a fishing partner who will do all the work with Anansi getting the fish. But when his clever friend Bonsu becomes his partner, Anansi's plan backfires. Aardema is the author of the 1976 Caldecott winner Why Mosquitoes Buzz in People's Ears, among other works.
