Can you imagine a chair scolding you for sitting on it too hard? Or, your pillow telling you to lay your head somewhere else? I don't know if I would laugh or cry! That's the sort of excitement the folks in this story had to deal with. A folktale from Ghana, written and narrated by A. Sakyiama *** This is an audio-ebook. In addition to text, it includes the author-narrated audio of the story. It's a fun format that allows you to enjoy books by reading, listening, or reading and listening at the same time. This is a wonderful, low-stress way to help struggling readers find pleasure in reading. Listening makes the difference. Kids see the words highlighted on the page and at the same time, are able to hear how the words should be read. This way, they build reading skills and a richer vocabulary. Also, it's just plain fun sometimes to relax and have someone else read to you. 🙂

What can you get for a grain of corn if you are as crafty as Ananse?
