About The Book

The Dancing Granny describes Spider Ananse's ploy to get Granny started dancing so he can raid her garden--but his own trick does him in.

Spider Ananse takes advantage of Granny Anika's love of dancing and sets her to dancing again and again while he steals food from her luxuriant garden.
