No problem at all, this has been fun! I actually listened to the audiobook version of Anansi boys, and it's a great audiobook as they got a very talented voice actor to do the reading. He was wonderful at conveying all the different accents for people from all over the world. He did a great young londoner voice, and he did a great old Caribbean woman voice.
And I'm from Canada, myself, though when I briefly lived in Florida as a child and I remember having an Anansi picture book. I didn't know it at the time but a lot of the really fun, really interesting stories told to kids there were actually African legends and folk tales that were carried over to the Caribbean and then to Florida.
Not a parent, just partial to books I read as a kid. The Stinky Cheese Man, Rainbow Fish, I'm always going to think Goosebumps for the 8-12 crowd, Anansi the spider and Abiyoyo
