A Story A Story An African Tale Retold and Illustrated by Gail. E. Haley (1970) won a Caldecott medal. I don’t create TPT lessons for stories retold anymore, but the medal prompted me to read the book. The pictures look like block prints. The story is about how clever Ananse, the Spider man, purchased all the stories from the Sky God. The price was Osebo (the leopard-of-the-terrible-teeth), Mmboro (the hornet-who-stings-like-fire), and Mmoatia (the fairy whom-men-never-see). The story is about how Ananse managed to capture all three, thus bringing the the golden box of stories back to earth.
