Ananse the Spiderman wanted the Sky God's stories. But the Sky God laughed at him and gave him an impossible task: "bring me Osebo the leopard of the terrible teeth, Mmboro the hornet who-stings-like-fire, and Mmoatia the fairy whom-men-never-see". The Sky God thought Ananse was just a weak old man, but he did not know that Ananse had a few clever tricks up his sleeve. Read and discover why today "all stories belong to Ananse". The retelling of this old African tale and Haley's marvelous woodcut illustrations won her the 1971 Caldecott Award. Category: Award Books; Classics; Folklore; Multicultural; Read Aloud. Grade Level: Preschool; Primary (K-3rd grade). 1970, Atheneum Books for Young Readers. Ages 3 to 9. Subjects:
