This review is from: Coomacka Island: The Story of Spider & Ant (Paperback)
A wonderful story that teaches children about sharing, working together, and the important of community. I purchased this book for my niece and nephew, and they enjoyed the narrative and the colorful graphics. This story has quickly become one of their favorites. I highly recommend this to anyone with small children (although some adults could relearn some of these lessons).

Teaching about Greed and Friendship,
This review is from: Coomacka Island: The Story of Spider & Ant (Paperback)
Spider was thirsty and exhausted from the summertime heat. Spider had drunk his entire water supply and was afraid that the well might run dry. He needed water but was too tired to make the long trip to and from the well. He decided to fake an injury and ask his friend Ant to draw water from the well for him. Ant quickly agreed to assist his friend. Will Spider be honest and tell Ant the truth or will Ant work himself to death?
THE STORY OF SPIDER & ANT discusses greed and the effect of misusing friends. My 7-year old read this book over and over coming up with new questions and suggestions about why Spider and Ant acted the way they did. Hooper has created a valuable tool for children and parents to dialogue about problems that come up. THE STORY OF SPIDER & ANT supports cultural diversity by expressing values from the Caribbean. Colorful illustrations with a quick moving storyline keep children's attention while creating practical solutions for everyday issues. Reviewed By - Deltareviewer For Real Page Turners
