{"product_id":"the-senses-taker-julie-schachter-9798210260338","title":"The Senses-Taker: 1st American Trade Edition, Second Printing.","description":"It's not often that a children's book, or any book, offers a re-set regarding how we regard the world through our senses--so many distractions to contend with in these modern times. A new book, THE SENSES-TAKER, by artist and illustrator Julie Schachter, does just that, by following the journey of a young boy, Abel Adams, who uses numbers to safely evaluate the world around him. The tale follows his transition from being a compulsive counter of things, to experiencing feelings beyond the surface. A dream-like visitation by an elf-sized man, a self-described Senses-Taker, opens Abel's eyes to what he's been missing. The miniature bureaucrat presents a treasure chest of drawers for almost every kind of sense, from SENSE OF DIRECTION, SENSE OF SMELL, SENSE OF HUMOR, to COMMON SENSE and NONSENSE. This entertaining, humorous, and well-illustrated book, harks back to a former time of tree-lined Main Streets, doctors who make house-calls, a gay couple (in this case, two female doctors), a mailman bribing with dog biscuits and a small town's soda fountain. The book encourages a recharge we could all use. It's nice to be reminded, occasionally, of how to just take a breath and look around, smell the roses- cell\/phones, laptops, emails and other links disabled. Maybe take some time out to enjoy a midnight moon, the flight of pillow feathers and magical birds circling, a disco shower of light, urging on Abel-and ourselves to make time for a sense of wonder.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Julie Schachter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798210260338\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Blurb\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/26\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 44\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 8.00w x 0.09d","brand":"Julie Schachter","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44079016673535,"sku":"9798210260338","price":18.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d579a010-f428-45a7-af19-1762aa19d598.jpg?v=1685478811","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-senses-taker-julie-schachter-9798210260338","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
