Anansi, the spider, is sharing a tree with Herald, the fowl-cock
(cockerel). Herald's early morning crowing makes Anansi angry and
he asks Herald to move to another tree. Herald refuses to do this
and thereafter misfortune follows him. This is an illustrated story
of 3,000 words. It is divided into four chapters of equal length.
Set on the fictional Isle of Spice the illustrations are colorful
and detailed and capture the essence of an island in the Caribbean
and the emotions of the protagonist in this battle of wills. Stoute
explodes the myth that fowl-cocks crow just before dawn and offers
an intriguing explanation for their crowing at all hours of the
night and foreday morning. Silva-Freimane's illustrations depicting
the animals and landscapes of the Caribbean go beyond a physical
rendition. They are funny and emotionally expressive.Recommended
reading level. Read Together: Ages 5 - 10; Read Alone: Ages 7 - 10.
