{"product_id":"big-appetites-paperback","title":"BIG APPETITES (Paperback)","description":"\u003cp\u003eWelcome to a world where little people have big personalities. A world that’s upside down and yet weirdly, wonderfully real. A world where Lilliputian thieves poach strawberry seeds. Where it takes a guy with a jackhammer to pop open pistachios. Where skaters fall into a crack in the crème brûlée, and teddy bear cookies congregate with evil intent.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMarrying inspired photographs of real food and tiny people with equally inspired captions, photographer Christopher Boffoli creates a smart, funny, quirky vision of what it means to play with your food. The scenes are hilarious and outlandish— a farmer shovels a pasture full of cow pies, aka chocolate chips; hikers pause at a rest stop to take in a magical mushroom forest. And the captions surprise with their cleverness and emotional truth. Of the proudly gesticulating little chef amid the macarons: “Right on cue, Philippe stepped up to take all of the credit.” Of the tiny bather up to her chin in waves of blue Jell-O: “In her continuing search for a husband, Gladys decided it was best to put herself in situations where she needed to be rescued.” Of the broad-shouldered technician spreading condiments on a hot dog: “Gary always uses too much mustard. But no one can say so. It’s a union thing.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHappiness, hope, adventure, pride, love, greed, menace, solitude—it’s our world, seen through a singularly unique and funny lens, in more than 100 scenes from breakfast through dessert.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Boffoli, Christopher","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52337149116690,"sku":"9780761176411","price":5.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/9238\/5846\/files\/27692293482458_9dd87712-647c-466f-9433-dddcc293e5e6.jpg?v=1780434358","url":"https:\/\/hbswarehousesale.com\/products\/big-appetites-paperback","provider":"Harvard Book Store Warehouse Sale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
