It shows how cynical both of these characters were to each other. It teaches a valuable lesson that what goes around comes around. It clearly isn’t a story to take too seriously considering what happens in the end, but it defiantly is an interesting story. It keeps you guessing and invested in how each character would respond to each circumstance. In this picture book, Anansi, the talking spider, plots a trickery against Turtle, his friend. He invites Turtle to a party by writing him a letter. He makes Turtle life miserable by making Turtle meeting the criteria of the list he forget to bring to the party. Anansi succeeds in playing a trick against Turtle. In return, Turtle hatches a revenge plan against Anansi and succeeds in doing so. Anansi gets send up and away from to the moon. I love the twist at the end of the book especially what happen to Anansi. Revenge isn't always sweet as it is demonstrated with Anansi being in the receiving end of the situation. Furthermore, it shows that you don't mess with anyone, you won't get any trouble. Eric Kimmel is a great storyteller in this humorous tale. Cute fable about the African god Anansi. Would be a good introduction to how people would create a story to explain natural phenomena they would observe around them. This would be a good book for Kindergarten through maybe 2nd grade to address Common Core standards related to diverse folklore and fairy tales. Reading Level: 1.6 Interest Level: K-3
Turtle and Anansi are friends- friends who like to play tricks on each other. One day, Anansi invites Turtle to a party. There, Anansi plays many tricks on Turtle. Turtle realizes that he is being tricked and becomes frustrated. Days later, Turtle comes up with a way to get Anansi back. He sends Anansi a letter inviting him to a party. When Anansi arrives, he notices that Turtle lives underwater (Anansi is a spider). After getting assistance from Crab, Anansi is able to attend the party. Turtle plays tricks on Anansi, until the story ends with Anansi and Crab on the moon with no way to return.
When Anansi the spider invites Turtle to a party just to play a trick on him, Turtle gets revenge at a party of his own. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

I have always loved Anansi stories, since first encountering them as a child, and I am always attracted to new tellings of them. Recently I have been reading the picture-book versions done by author Eric A. Kimmel and illustrator Janet Stevens, of which Anansi's Party Time is the fifth and final example. Unfortunately, although the story itself was very much in the classic Anansi tradition of the tricksters tricked, I was distracted by some of the non-traditional elements in the story, such as the use of balloons. I was also disappointed that Kimmel included no note as to his source material, leaving me to wonder whether this was a traditional tale at all, or an original one featuring a traditional character. There are tales of Anansi and the moon, but I am not familiar with those one, making the absence of a note particularly troubling. I'd still recommend this to those who enjoy Anansi stories, but I am unsure as to its provenance. ( )
