Anansi and the Tug of War

---

Anansi and the Tug of War, retold by Lesley Sims and illustrated by Alida Massari, is a delightful children's storybook included in the Usborne First Reading series. Based on traditional folklore, the story features the clever and mischievous spider Anansi, who decides to play a trick on the two biggest, strongest animals in the jungle—the elephant and the hippopotamus. By using his wits rather than physical strength, Anansi convinces both giant animals to take part in a massive tug of war against him, resulting in a funny and clever lesson. Specially written with lively language and engaging illustrations for developing readers, this book encourages imagination, problem-solving, and a love for reading.
