{"product_id":"six-legs-and-short-tales-marcus-noon-9781539519560","title":"Six Legs and Short Tales: Insect Rhymes and Fables","description":"The title makes the book sound like what it isn't---for children. Insects are human, all too human, whether that is a stink bug during the French Revolution who thinks the shape of his shell is proof of \"intelligent design,\" a disgruntled wasp who resents Icarus for making wings out of feathers and beeswax, or a moth and fly who peddle techniques for overcoming the iconic self-defeating behaviors of their species, like the fatal attraction to burning candles, and getting trapped in glass bottles. Written with a nod of respect in the direction of Aesop and La Fontaine, while holding a mirror to our times.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marcus Noon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1539519562\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781539519560\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/21\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 78\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.99h x 5.24w x 0.19d","brand":"Marcus Noon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48873344729343,"sku":"9781539519560","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/six-legs-and-short-tales-marcus-noon-9781539519560","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
