Spider is a favorite person in the stories of West Africa. He is clever and mischievous. He loves to eat and he hates to work. He plays so many tricks that he gets into a lot of trouble. But when he is good, he is full of fun.

West African boys and girls—and grown-ups too—love to hear stories about Spider. There are six Spider stories in this book.
