{"product_id":"9780972211178","title":"Chewed","description":"\u003cp\u003ePhotographers Arne Svenson and Ron Warren—co-authors of the popular \u003ci\u003eSock Monkeys\u003c\/i\u003e—here turn their attention to those masses of slobbered-over yarn, remnants and stuffing that ordinarily go the way of all pet toy casualties and get discarded without a second glance. Before their lenses, once-plush cuddly creatures and formerly bouncy rubber toys are transformed into intriguing eyeless, armless, one-legged sculptures—snatched, from the jaws, so to speak, of oblivion. A headless bunny rabbit, mutated plastic rat, masticated rubber hotdog or donut—each is a beloved pet's dream companion, transfigured by the sharp teeth and powerful jaws of the overinfatuated animal. Svenson and Warren have photographed the chewed victims in a formal yet irreverent style appropriate to the perspective of the pet; the result is a humorous appraisal of beauty, devotion and contentment. With more than 130 full-color photographs, \u003ci\u003eChewed\u003c\/i\u003e includes delightful, twisted and poignant short stories by a variety of contributors writing about their favorite chewed creature, including writer Augusten Burroughs; artists Roz Chast, Maira Kalman, Rick Meyerowitz and William Wegman; designers Isaac Mizrahi and Todd Oldham; and food-world personality Andrew Zimmern.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ideal World Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47020605505776,"sku":"9780972211178","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780972211178_p0.jpg?v=1763878215","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780972211178","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
