What Bear is Reading

This week, one of Bear's favorites was Anansi and the Moss Covered Rock

It is about a spider named Anansi who likes to play tricks.  One day she finds a moss-covered rock that knocks people out (makes them fall down unconscious) if they say the word "moss-covered rock."  Anansi tricks every animal in the jungle until a smart little Bush Deer tricks him back!

The story was funny and lends itself well for doing voices and sound effects.  I can see why Bear wanted it read to her endlessly.   The illustrations were pleasant, bright and colorful, and in almost every one you can see Little Bush Deer hiding, watching what Anansi is doing.
