This book is really basic and simplistic. In fact, I think it might have been McDermott's book about the Native American story on Raven that introduced me to mythology around 1st grade. While I could have done with more content and none of the characters in Anansi had the level of craftiness or multifaceted morality that Raven does, McDermott's illustrations make up for the content to some extent, and it still serves as a good tale of siblings combining their strengths to work together to save their trouble-seeking dad.
