In this traditional Liberian folktale, Mrs. Chicken has to think fast to outwit a hungry Mrs. Chicken.

Anansi and the Moss Covered Rock

MaryAnn Schmidt has enchanted children for years with folktales from around the world. It's difficult to freeze these stories in time because storytelling is a live art embodied by the synergy between the teller and the listener. Now, some of these experiences, recorded live in the classroom have been preserved and shared with children everywhere.
