{"product_id":"the-pied-piper-of-hamelin-thomas-baas-9783899557671","title":"The Pied Piper of Hamelin","description":"Through a bold palette, the legend of the Pied Piper is artfully enlivened. The Pied Piper of Hamelin is set in the north of Germany in the year 1283. It is nearly Christmas and the townspeople are ready to celebrate when a rodent infestation interrupts their everyday lives. The mayor announces a seemingly straightforward proposition: rid the town of the rats and be given one thousand gold coins. A stranger with a small pipe entices the rats beyond the town gates, but when he is unfairly denied his reward, the story takes an unexpected turn. Fictional or historical, the medieval legend of the Pied Piper has long fascinated generations of readers with its swarm of rats drawn away by a cloaked stranger and his magical melodies. Now, the beloved tale is given new life with Thomas Baas' contemporary illustrations in a vibrantly dark palette of blues and reds. The mysterious tale helps teach and reinforce the importance of keeping one's word and the consequences of broken promises.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas Baas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3899557670\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783899557671\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Little Gestalten\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/14\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 14.10h x 8.70w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/0001\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews Fall Preview\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/15\/2016 pg. 40\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/10\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2016 pg. 66\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHorn Book Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2016 pg. 40\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2017 - Superior,Well Above Average","brand":"Thomas Baas","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44045364691199,"sku":"9783899557671","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_932da9d8-a1f9-4fee-a8a7-9a93ee0402e5.jpg?v=1684978311","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-pied-piper-of-hamelin-thomas-baas-9783899557671","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
