{"product_id":"a-story-a-story-9780689205118","title":"A Story A Story","description":"Many African stories, whether or not they are about Kwaku Ananse the \"spider man,\" are called, \"Spider Stories.\" This book is about how that came to be. \u003cbr\u003eThe African storyteller begins: \"We do not really mean, we do not really mean that what we are about to say is true. A Story, a story; let it come, let it go.\" \u003cbr\u003eAnd it tells that long, long ago there were no stories on earth for children to hear. All stories belonged to Nyame, the Sky God. Ananse, the Spider man, wanted to buy some of these stories, so he spun a web up to the sky and went up to bargain with the Sky God. The price the Sky God asked was Osebo, the leopard of-the-terrible-teeth, Mmboro the hornet who-stings-like-fire, and Mmoatia the fairy whom-men-never-see. \u003cbr\u003eHow Ananse paid the price is told in a graceful and clever text, with forceful, lovely woodcut illustrations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Atheneum Books for Young Readers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/1970\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780689205118\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 36\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.10h x 10.00w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Caldecott Medal - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2006 pg. 60\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e30634 \/ Story, a Story\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.2 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Lower Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Gail E.
