{"product_id":"2940156936069","title":"The Alphabet Menagerie","description":"One Saturday afternoon in the spring of 2016, on a lark, Neil scribbled out a few whimsical verses for Miss Hannah and Miss Leah to use in introducing the alphabet to their young students. He played with his little creations over the next couple of weeks, until he had something resembling the offspring of an asylum and a zoo. (You see what I did there.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom that egg, The Alphabet Menagerie eventually hatched.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt was not originally intended for publication, but Miss Hannah and Miss Leah insisted. And since Miss Hannah and Miss Leah (in addition to being sisters) are very insistent IN-sisters, Daddy finally relented, and here it is for you.\u003cbr\u003eNeil lives in Alexandria, Louisiana, with his wife Julie, cats Opie, Lucy, Joey, and Penelope, along with Miss Hannah's dog Petey, and in close proximity to Miss Hannah and Miss Leah. All of these contented organisms help take care of Neil's mother, Nancy, who specializes in reading, newspaper clipping, and advanced cat-lappery.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn both 2015 and 2016, J. Neil Barham was unanimously voted World's Okayest Dad by his children. He is the only member of the Barham family ever to receive this honor twice consecutively.","brand":"Xulon Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47114793124080,"sku":"2940156936069","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940156936069_p0.jpg?v=1764088863","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940156936069","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
