I believe if you go to the website you see the book's proceeds go to AIDS charity in Africa and the book is for sale...I think we can save and image of the button and the post it on our blog to support the effort. That is my understanding but I may be wrong. I am doing that with a direct link to somewhere to buy it ...any other ideas if this is not why it is here?

o, i would love to review the african folk tales. if only i knew what all you were supposed to do. (raise your hand if you think i am new to all this)
Karen Haney Comment by Karen Haney on June 24, 2009 at 2:48pm
Oh...just a minute on this website makes me wish (just a little bit) that I was still teaching....amazing and thanks for the info on it! Of course I can find & 7 of the 8 Anansi and 8 of the 10 moving in the picture and it will drive me nuts till I find them all..what a worthwhile project for Hachette to be involved with.

i love audio books as i can do other things with my hands and still follow a book. multitasking, don't cha know. you should all know i cannot spell so when you see a word you don't recognize, try it phonically ...if you still don't get it, it is probably because i play on the computer late at night (early in the morning) and, well, you know how that goes. plus i am a bit dislexic (see says it's not spelled right).
