ANANSI AND THE MAGIC STICK
Anansi the Trickster meets the Sorcerer’s Apprentice in this story loosely based on a Liberian folktale. While the other animals are busy tending their gardens and cleaning their homes, Anansi is sleeping. But when they tease him for being lazy, he says he is hard at work thinking and will have to find a new place to sleep, that is to think, for all the noise they are making. What he finds is Hyena’s house, which is always neat and tidy, no matter how Hyena sleeps away the day. Spying on him, Anansi sees Hyena recite some magic words to a stick, which then does his chores for him. The sly spider decides that this stick could help keep his neighbors from laughing at him for his poor housekeeping. All goes well for a time until he decides to have the stick tend his garden. When he falls asleep, the overzealous stick is watering the garden. Without Anansi to stop it, the stick’s watering goes from a trickle, to a flood, to a river, in which all the animals are swept away. Unable to remember the magic words, Anansi loses the stick to Hyena and must go back to thinking up new tricks. Children will delight in Anansi’s escapades as he annoys his neighbors and learns how to control the stick. Kimmel and Stevens make a good team, with the text fonts echoing the action of the story and the illustrations bringing Anansi and all his antics to life. This is their fourth Anansi collaboration (Anansi and the Talking Melon, 1996, etc.); has the tricky spider learned his lesson this time? Let’s hope not—his stories are too amusing.

Reviews for "The Legacy of Aladdin's Magic Carpet: Inspiring Generations"
1. Sarah - 2/5 stars - "I have to say, I was really disappointed with Aladim magic carpet. The graphics were mediocre at best, and the gameplay was so repetitive and boring. It felt like I was just going through the motions, collecting objects and avoiding obstacles without any real challenge or excitement. The story was also lacking depth and the characters were one-dimensional. Overall, I found the game to be quite dull and not worth the time or money."
2. Michael - 3/5 stars - "While I didn't hate Aladim magic carpet, I can't say I enjoyed it either. The controls were clunky and unresponsive, which made it frustrating to navigate the levels. The game also seemed to glitch quite often, causing me to restart multiple times. The concept was interesting, but the execution fell flat. I was expecting a magical adventure, but instead, I got a lackluster game that left me feeling underwhelmed."
3. Jessica - 2/5 stars - "I had high hopes for Aladim magic carpet, but unfortunately, it didn't meet my expectations. The levels were too short and lacked variety, and the overall gameplay felt repetitive and monotonous. The graphics were decent, but nothing exceptional. I also found the in-app purchases to be quite expensive for what they offered. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this game to others looking for an engaging and enjoyable gaming experience."
