{"product_id":"snakes-and-the-boy-who-was-afraid-of-them-9780938663157","title":"Snakes! and the Boy Who Was Afraid of Them","description":"In a delightfully subtle way, Polisar promotes self esteem through a character who thinks for himself in this companion book to The Snake Who Was Afraid of People. Afraid of snakes, Lenny has to endure a field trip to the zoo's snake house. He encounters taunts from his bullying classmates and little sympathy from his teacher and guidance counselor, who are pictured increasingly snake-like and menacing until the wickedly funny surprise ending. It's a book about fears that says there's nothing wrong with having them. In fact, there are some things you should be afraid of. Polisar's protagonist is a child who not only thinks for himself against a popular belief-but proves himself right. A delighfully subversive serpent metaphor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rainbow Morning Music Alternatives\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780938663157\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.94lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.34h x 10.46w x 0.34d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/1994 pg. 103\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Barry Louis Polisar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52774094504117,"sku":"9780938663157","price":12.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/snakes-and-the-boy-who-was-afraid-of-them-9780938663157","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
