When
Tiger wins the lottery, Anansi convinces him to become his partner and buy a
cattle ranch. Small but clever, Anansi outwits the bigger Tiger and ends up with
all the cattle. Anansi is a well-known trickster figure found throughout West
African and Caribbean folklore. This story combines contemporary elements such
as a lottery with the traditional themes of the trickster.
Listen to
Vienna Rose read Brother Anansi and the Cattle Ranch to you. A marvelous example of the magical encounter
between a child and books that we wish for all children.

gorgeous warm colors that swim before the reader's eyes." —Hungry Mind
Review
"A modern-day variant of a centuries-old folklore tradition with roots in
West Africa . . . Brightly contrasting illustrations in a folk-art style."
