{"product_id":"mr-rouse-builds-his-house-stefan-themerson-9781849761543","title":"MR Rouse Builds His House","description":"This tiny book, originally published in 1950, tells the story of Mr. Rouse, who has decided to build himself a house. Inevitably, the process is much longer and more detailed than Mr. Rouse initially envisions: \"Mr. Builder, I'm not a bird, you know; how could I live in a house made of leaves?\"\u003cbr\u003e This quirky tale from 1950 takes readers through the process of choosing building types and making all kinds of decisions. In a wonderful blend of absurd poetry and pragmatism, Mr. Rouse contends with building materials, transportation, lighting, and plumbing, encountering quarreling stairs and dapper gutters on his way.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stefan Themerson, Barbara Wright\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 184976154X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781849761543\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Tate Publishing(UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/06\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 148\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.50h x 4.30w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/15\/2014","brand":"Stefan Themerson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44075086283007,"sku":"9781849761543","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d7efdccc-1633-410a-95c0-d443995d39b7.jpg?v=1685457526","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mr-rouse-builds-his-house-stefan-themerson-9781849761543","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
