Hilarious! submitted by krayla on July 25, 2015, 1:06pm I love this story! It's great for individual reading and for group sharing. Anansi is such a clever character, but Little Bush Deer gives him a run for his money! This book has a great sense of humor and beautiful illustrations.
kiddos submitted by Cory Michael on August 4, 2015, 9:23am Kids love anything that is funny. Adding to the wish list :)
yay anansi! submitted by manz on June 17, 2016, 1:48pm One of the best tales of all time! I love reading/telling this one to children. I won't tire of Anansi stories. Classic. So good.
Funny submitted by shupa1 on July 14, 2017, 11:59am Anansi is my favorite trickster.
Anansi and the Moss-Covered Rock submitted by SBNB on July 21, 2019, 7:08pm Great story! My kids loved it!
tricking the trickster submitted by VanCancue on July 21, 2020, 12:43pm i like the smart deer , the funniest thing is how the deer tricks him - 5 year old.
Strange premise, but very effective.

Anansi stories are always really funny and you always wonder if Anansi will actually succeed in tricking someone or not, which is half the fun so I won’t spoil it for you. This trick is one of the strangest ones of the series, but very effective and lucrative in its potential spoils for Anansi.
My kids also enjoyed spotting the deer on each page who spies what Anansi is up to.
