This is a really fun video for any age. Denzel Washington's Caribbean accent and UB 40's funky music are real treats, and the cartoons are cool. This video even managed to capture our oh-so-cool and very hard to please seventh-graders! I heard plenty of "yah mahn's" around the halls in school afterwards. Enjoy this video of the clever teeny-weeny spider who tricks both the longest and the strongest animal in the jungle!

This is a great video just for entertainment, or for use with a folk tale theme. Denzel Washington's Jamaican narration, the funny cartoon illustrations and UB40's reggea rhythms even got our very hard-to-please and oh-so-cool 7th graders hooked. Expect to hear plenty of "yah mahn"'s around your house or school after showing this video of the teeny teeny spider who manages to trick even the strongest animal (the tiger) and the longest animal (the snake) in the bush, by being clever.

I bought this VHS video to use with my first grade students. They loved it. It was a great visual alternative to the standard read aloud. I only wish it were available as a DVD.
