{"product_id":"benjamin-west-and-his-cat-grimalkin","title":"Benjamin West and His Cat Grimalkin","description":"Newbery Award–winning author Marguerite Henry’s beloved novel about a boy who would do anything to paint is now available in a refreshed paperback edition.\n\nBenjamin West was born with an extraordinary gift—the gift of creating paintings of people, animals, and landscapes so true to life they “took one’s breath away.” But Benjamin is part of a deeply religious Quaker family, and Quaker beliefs forbid the creation of images.\n\nBecause Benjamin’s family didn’t approve of his art, he had to make his own painting supplies. The local Native Americans taught him how to mix paints from earth, clay, and plants. And his cat, Grimalkin, sacrificed hair from his tail for Ben’s brushes.\n\nThis classic story from Newbery Award–winning author Marguerite Henry features the original text with gorgeous new cover art.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 148140394X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.148140394X.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Henry, Marguerite|Dennis, Wesley\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
