This is a story about a family of spiders. They include Mommy Spider, Daddy Spider, Anansi the brother and Sewa the sister. Anansi is very attached to his superhero figure. One day Sewa takes it and dresses it in a tutu. Anansi finds it and is upset. He tells his parents and upset Sewa. The story goes on from there about asking permission, setting good examples for younger siblings and sharing. The story was cute and children will get the meaning. The book was colorful in the illustrations and will keep children interested. This is a good book for children with younger siblings to read with them both.

This second installment in the young Anansi the spider series tells of how discord between Anansi and his sister was diffused and the two learned how to apologize to each other on their own and share. If you have multiple children this would be a great read for them.

I enjoyed this book and thought it had a good message behind it about sharing your toys with your siblings.
I liked the fact they explored about a superhero wearing a tutu and that the dad said it was okay ..... As there is too stigma around girls play with their toys and boys play with theirs etc.
The illustrations are lovely and colourful and eye-catching
Great book for children!

Disclaimer: I did not read Book 1, so I don't know if that would have changed my review.

This is a cute story. I thought the ideas around gender, clothing, and strength could have been expanded a bit more. It was a great opportunity that was not fully developed, however, I particularly liked how it was the father who agreed that it was OK for Black Panther to wear a tutu. I would have like to hear how the dolls were just as strong, and have some resolution from Anansi about the tutu issue, which to me was separate from the sharing issue.

I think that the messages about sharing and respect for each other's things are important, and a common one siblings deal with every day. I liked the spider illustrations and the artwork. I think young children will enjoy it.

Working in a daycare with children ranging from 6 months to 12 years old, we attempt to promote active thinking. We do this by decreasing our allotted television time and encouraging reading and other educational activities.

This book was reviewed based on my honest personal preference.

Kudos to the author for being bold enough to share their creativity with the world.

🤓ARC REVIEW. I did receive a free copy of this book for my honest review.

This book follows Anansi and Sewa in a dispute over a doll.

The moral messages of sharing, consent, and making up after an argument are clear and the illustrations are cute.

I would still have liked to see them being a little more mischievous given the description but nevertheless the story is clearly laid out and has relevant illustrations to help a young reader make sense of the story.

This is the second story book about anansi and sewa. in this one they are having to learn to share and to get along with each other and not take each other's toys. This is cute I absolutely love the pictures. I do wish that it had more of a smooth transition between him finding his action figure and learning to share.

This book has a good underlying story but for me the images used did let it down and they were a little untidy and confusing and it was about a third in to the book when they even mention the word spider!

I will admit that I did not read the blurb and it took me a while to realise that the family were meant to be spiders and that explained the extra limbs as to be honest I just thought the images were a little off – it is not mentioned on the cover so that would be an idea to add it!

I liked the idea behind the story, the images just didn’t work for me - it is 3 stars from me for this one!

I already know of the story of Anansi the spider and have read it before. It's a lovely multicultural story so I thought this one would be too. But it was a bit strange to me. It started well, with the brother finding out his sister had stolen his toy. This would have been a great opportunity to discuss how superheroes, girls, boys and everyone can wear a tutu if they want to and being a hero isn't about what you wear. But instead the 2 children argued, which I didn't like. I liked the ending where they were friends again and played together.
