Whenever he scratches his nose and wiggles his toes at exactly the same time, he turns into a rusty nail. To turn back into a rabbit, all he has to do is think: \"I'm no nail, I'm a rabbit!\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis unusual talent enables Solomon to play some gratifying practical jokes, but it also leads to serious trouble when he's waylaid by a one-eyed cat who plans to turn him into Hasenpfeffer. Solomon promptly becomes a rusty nail and steadfastly refuses to change back, even after Ambrose, the cat, and his wife, Clorinda, lock him up in a cage in their guest room. Sooner or later, they figure, they'll be dining no bunny stew. How can Solomon possibly find a way out of this dilemma? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eSolomon the Rusty Nail\u003c\/i\u003e:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Steig combines a tale of uncanny transformation with his distinctively animated illustrations...Children will love this bizarre tale with its humorous drawings and lively sense of fun.” —\u003ci\u003ePointer, Kirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Beautifully written and illustrated by paintings reflecting the sunny colors of spring...A classic by a peerless artist.” —\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Square Fish","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47024806625520,"sku":"9780374469030","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780374469030_p0.jpg?v=1763766677","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780374469030","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
