To learn more about Anansi stories, we purchased this audio CD, and we are not disappointed! Mr. Norfolk's stories and deliveries bring smiles and laughter into your household or to your own "Anansi Time." This lively "personality" product can be enjoyed by children as well as adults, anyone who loves to hear good stories well-told. Our favorite stories from this CD are "How Light Came Into the World" and "Anansi and the Tug o' War." Norfolk's sound effects and character voices are brilliant. For teachers, this product is useful in many ways: 1) as an addition to multicultural units 2) as an example of "public" speaking 3) as an example of storytelling for effect (acting / voice / dialogue) 4) as an engaging listening exercise

I saw him live at our local library, and I think the parents were just as amused as the children. Children of all ages, from toddler to preteens, enjoyed his stories. It was a wonderful experience and I would not hesitate to buy several of his CDs.
Lively & enjoyable story telling

Bobby Norfolk tells these stories very well. He catches the fun of Anansi stories and does a great job of creating the different voices. Our three year old son loves to listen to this CD and becomes absorbed in the stories.
