{"product_id":"the-hunter-9780689829062","title":"The Hunter","description":"Hai Li Bu is a good hunter, but not even he can find enough food for his village when the drought comes. The people grow thin and weak, the children rarely laugh -- but worst of all, they begin to argue and stop listening to one another. \u003cbr\u003e Out on a hunt one day, Hai Li Bu saves a small snake from the beak of a crane. He is surprised to learn that he has rescued the daughter of the Dragon King of the Sea. The Dragon King offers Hai Li Bu the reward of his choice. Hai Li Bu asks only to know the language of animals. Then he can be a better hunter for his village. His wish is granted with a provision: He must never reveal the secret of his gift to anyone. \u003cbr\u003e Hai Li Bu's people are saved from famine, but when he hears from the animals that a flood is coming that will destroy everything in his village, the people do not listen to him. \"You ask us to leave our homes. How can we know what you say is true?\" a village elder asks him. Now Hai Li Bu is faced with a terrible choice: to let the people of his village die in the flood or to reveal his secret, knowing the dire consequences for himself. \u003cbr\u003e Caldecott Medal and Honor-winner Ed Young's magnificent illustrations bring this poignant traditional folktale to life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Atheneum Books for Young Readers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780689829062\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.93lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.25h x 8.74w x 0.39d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Parents Choice Award (Fall) (1998-2007) - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/2000 pg. 1754\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Review - Children\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/15\/2000 pg. 881\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2000 pg. 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist Ed Choice Adu Bk YA's\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2001 pg. 864\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eALA Notable Children's Books\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2001 pg. 1382\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2001 pg. 2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2001 pg. 341 - Recommended, Satisfactory\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2001 pg. 341 - Recommended, Satisfactory\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/04\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e44109 \/ Hunter: A Chinese Folktale\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.3 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Mary Casanova","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43040195707061,"sku":"9780689829062","price":18.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_87a1feae-52ad-4bf4-846c-d96266b23b8d.jpg?v=1689086666","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-hunter-9780689829062","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
